TWiB Notes -- 7/30 - 8/5

[Frayed Knot]

In the first of four games in Fenway this weekend and the first of 10 BOS/NYY games still remaining for the season, CC Sabathia has thrown 75 pitches just to get through 3 innings (think this one is getting done in under four hours?) and yet is winning the game as the Sawx have left one, three, and two on while managing to hit two solo HRs (that's a tough act to pull off)
4-2 Yanx thru three



The other big four-game series this week is the Brewers @ Dodgers.
Brews took 2 of the first 3. Tonight it's Joulys Chacin (10-3) vs Kershaw
Dodgers are tied w/DBacks. Brewers are 1.0 game behind Cubs

The Red Stockings just put up an 8 spot and now lead 10 - 4. Cee Cee was pulled after three (he's on a pitch count???? ) and the damage was done to the MFY bullpen.

No, he was just lucky to have only two runs against him.

Currently 11-5, Sox still batting bottom 5th (that game started the same time as ours)
The opening four innings took over two hours.

Wait, the Yanx & Sawx completed a game in 2:15!?!?!?
And that somehow happened with Severino throwing over 100 pitches in 5.2.
Talk about your cats and dogs living together. 2:15 into a Boston/Yanx game usually finds you somewhere around the top of the 5th.

4-1 Red Sox is your final.

Cubs lose to the Padres as Anthony Rizzo goes down looking at strike three, which is better described as "strike three."

Guess who was working home plate.

He didn't like us, and the feeling is mutual.

Yeah, but since this happened in the off season .... yeah, I could have.
