Jonathan Van Every!

Another day, another Red Sox win. Yawn. Tonight's hero was little known Jonathan Van Every. Tito's plan was to give Youk and Drew the night off, which makes sense since the MLB season is a marathon and not a sprint. You would think we'd have a small chance of winning since 2 of our starters were out, and it sure looked bad when we started off down 5-0. But these Sox have a lot of fight. We scraped and clawed back to tie the game in the 8th, then proceeded to silence the tribal drums when Mr. Van Every launched a changeup over the center field wall with 2 outs in the 10th. If you aren't sure who Jonathan Van Every is, well he's the guy who slapped hands with Manny Ramirez after this play.

Needless to say, Papelbon came in and got the save. Let me ask you all a question. Does Papelbon look really shaky this year? I mean, you can only throw the same pitch (fastball) so many times before people begin to catch up to it. It looks like Paps has changed his delivery this year to try to make it more powerful, but it'd be nice if he threw something other than the fastball. Well, whatever. It's working. We've won 12 out of 13 games (Amit, you look so dumb right now) and we have the best bullpen ERA in the league. Again, it's a marathon and not a sprint so the entire season can change based on a couple injuries. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
