That's Baseball
|
From Red Sox Reality Check Blog:
Amazingly frustrating and partly self-inflicted defeat today, as the Sox wilted to The Transformer, Mike Mussina, who baffled them with a variety of offspeed pitches and an 87 mph fastball. Worse yet, in the ninth, Mariano Rivera escaped a bases loaded, no out jam with particular ineptness by the tail end of the lineup. Coco Crisp fanned on three p...

Manny Gets HBP Three Times
|
From Joy of Sox:
Manny Ramirez hits Mike Mussina pretty well -- 28-for-100, with nine HRs and a .630 slugging percentage. Since the start of the 2005 season, Manny has battered the Moose to the tune of 13-for-26 (.500).
