did they just switch Choo and Francisco?
1) when is the last time two position players just switched like that?
2) Why no Gutz?

It’s ok, it actually makes listening to sox games really entertaining. And you can always root against them (sometimes it seems like Stone actually is)
Rooney and Farmer together were a little too solipsistic for my tastes (“so i’m in church the other week, and father mcstuffnsuch is talking about golf…”) but Stone keeps Farmer more on topic. They’re very good together.

Fly ball, caught by the centerfielder. Dropped while transferring to throwing hand, still an out. Picked up by left fielder. Thrown back to infield, cut off by short stop, and Marte doubled off at first because he thought the center fielder dropped it.
You know, the average 8-7-6-3 double play.

Lots of positive tonight. It’s nice to play a team that has a bullpen that may be worse than ours.
Kind of worrisome to see “pre-Texas” Garko show up. He was back to his pulling ways again. Hopefully it’s just temporary, we need him to be productive.
