The Fun Resumes

After a completely needless day off, the Sox and Yanks are back at it again with Jon Lester and A.J. Burnett respectively toeing the rubber for each team. In the early going, both pitchers have been a bit shaky, allowing some base runners. But both have limited the damage to one run a piece in the first two innings. I'm just happy to be sitting here on a Tuesday evening watching the game with a cold one.

Jacoby Ellsbury has just led off the third with a double, and after a Dustin Pedroia line out, Victor Martinez launched a fastball into center field to give the Sox a 3-1 lead.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if tonight's game goes the same way as Sunday's with 15 or 16 total runs. Hell, the Yankees will probably be the ones to come back this time. Any way, it will be nice to get this first Yanks/Sawks series out of the way and let the season get into full swing.

Finally, a big Happy Birthday to my bro, Pete. Though I am eight years his elder, he has forgotten more baseball than I'll ever know. Have a good one.
