The Trades
In my opinion, the trades were okay.
We got Catcher, First Baseman Victor Martinez (Cleveland Indians) for pitchers Justin Masterson, Nick Hagadone and Bryan Price.
We got first baseman Casey Kotchman (Atlanta Braves) for our new first baseman, Adam LaRoche.
I
see why we got rid of Adam LaRoche, we had no room for him after we got
Victor Martinez, who is both a first baseman and a catcher.
But JUSTIN MASTERSON? A homegrown Red Sox? Why not Ramon Ramirez or Saito?
Not
Justin! I believe he was going to be the next upcoming Red Sox
starter.I’m going to miss him a lot. I’m already looking forward to the
Cleveland vs. Sox series the first week of October so I can see Justin
again. Hopefully we can get him back soon.
Victor Martinez was a
good get, we needed a strong catcher, as Varitek is slowly losing his
juice. (Don’t get me wrong, I still think Varitek is doing good)
Bye Justin and Adam. Welcome, Casey and Victor.

Penny….no!
First pitch from Brad Penny: a home run hit from Adam Kennedy.
Score after first half of the first inning: 0-5. Yikes.
It
wasn’t the start the Soxs wanted after yesterday’s devastating loss,
but what could we do? We can’t stop a ball flying over the green
monster or base hits all the way in the corner of left or right. We
need a pitcher who can strike out and make batters ground out.
In the end, Penny gave up 7 earned runs. Not good.
But,
in the first inning, Mike Lowell hit a 3-run homer, making the score
look a little more nice, 3-5. Ellsbury also got a triple and a stolen
base. Bay finally got a hit. He also made a great assist throwing a
ball to second to get the hitter out. Other pitchers were Masterson,
who gave up a run, Saito and Ramirez. No runs from them.
The ending score…8-6.
Not the best, but definitely could’ve been worse. One more game againist the A’s, let’s win it!
