Napoli

Lackey and Verlander were pretty much pitching gods last night. They both ate the other team’s lineups for breakfast. Most hitters were unable to make contact. Mike Napoli failed to put the ball in play in his first two at bats. I guess third time was the charm for him. Watch the video linked above (I was hoping it would embed, but I guess not).

In one swing, Napoli put the Red Sox ahead in the series two games to one. The Red Sox beat the Tigers 1-0 last night in one of the best, most intense pitching duels I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch.

Game four is tonight. As much fun as last night was, I could really go for a nice blow out tonight. How about the Red Sox score 10 or 15 times in the first inning. That would make a nice stress-free change of pace.
