Wow, felt like old times last night...
Tim Wakefield came off the DL, and casually threw 7 innings of 1 run baseball. That is fucking unreal. V-Mart didn't seem to have too much trouble catching the knuckleball. Funny thing is people won't be talking about how awesome the Wake was last night. Heck he didn't even get the win. Nope, last night was all about Ortiz.
It started in the 2nd inning when Ortiz went deep off Gavin Floyd to tie the game at 1. Boston took the lead in the 6th when Alex Gonzalez hit a solo shot, but the White Sox tied the game in the 8th, when Scott Podsednik took Ramirez deep stealing the win from Wakefield.
In the bottom of the 9th thing did not start well as Youk struck out. Ortiz came to the plate, and you could just feel the excitement in the crowd. It hasn't been like that in a couple years for Ortiz. He quickly smashed the ball to the right field stands, and the game was over.
Oh and it seems Ortiz has a new friend...
"Victor, man, he just pushed me for every at-bat," Ortiz said after curling his second homer of the game around the Pesky Pole to break a ninth-inning tie and give the Boston Red Sox a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night. "He got in my face and started screaming at me. I liked it. It got me in the mood."
