Game 2 - 4/4/2007

Red Sox 7, Royals 1

The Sox turned the tables on the Royals on a cold, blustery Wednesday night.

Royals starter Odalis Perez struggled early, giving up 3 runs in the first inning. He settled down after that, but seemed to tire as the game progressed.

Perez' last couple of spring starts were cut short because of blister problems on his pitching hand. Perez wasn't able to stretch out his outings, which probably hurt his conditioning. The cold weather probably didn't help much either.

Off Topic... The Mets seem to have the Cardinals' number here in 2007, don't they?

The Bell Curve
Actual Record 1-1
Expected Record 1-1
Runs Scored 8
Runs Allowed 8
Projected Record 81-81
Pythagorean Record 81-81
Pythagorean Winning% 0.500

Let's go get 'em

2 days into the season, and you're already reliving 1985. Get a real baseball life!

Did I miss something? I don't recall mentioning 1985. If you're referencing my comment about the Cardinals, recall that the Cards had played three games by the time I wrote the entry on April 4th, and had lost all three to the Mets. The Cards were out-scored 20-2. Surely even you would agree that the Mets had their number for that series.
