In the end it didn't matter...

...but it sure looked to me like when Taveras was hit on the hand, his hand was over the plate and in the strike zone. He almost got hit again later when he swung and missed and his elbow was over the plate. I'm just saying, it should have been a strike.



Top 1st: Colorado

- W. Taveras hit by pitch

- K. Matsui flied out to deep center

- M. Holliday singled to shallow left, W. Taveras to third, M. Holliday to second on third baseman M. Lowell's throwing error

- T. Helton grounded out to first, W. Taveras scored, M. Holliday to third

- G. Atkins grounded out to third

1 runs, 1 hits, 1 errors

Colorado 1, Boston 0

But whatever. Wish we scored more, but we scored just enough.

Man these guys are good.



Notice anything odd about those portraits. Odd in the "One of these things, is not like the other/Can you see it? Do you know?" and so on. Maybe he was sick on picture day?

Also, this could be the last time we see Curt pitch at Fenway. Thank you, sir, for all you have done for us.
