Date: 4/22/09

Opponent: Boston Red Sox

Home/Away: Away

Starting Pitcher: Liriano

Final Score: L 7-3

Best Moment: The bullpen actually looked solid! No doubt this weekend I will be back to watching them blow leads, but today (in the 2nd game at least) they did a nice job. Guerrier pitched 2 scoreless innings, while Ayala and Moojares each had a perfect inning.

Most Questionable Moment: In honor of Earth Day, the Red Sox go green and recycle their St. Patrick's Day uniforms from spring training. But with an added recycling patch. Compare: game against the Twins March 17th vs. game against the Twins April 22nd. While I suppose reusing the uniforms is technically upholding the ideals of Earth Day, I found it disconcerting. I mean, it's a fucking shamrock! Not a tree, or the Earth Day Logo, or Vladimir Lenin (that would be awesome actually).

Worst Moment: It was just an all-around painful game. This was actually the first game this year that I couldn't finish. I took a break and then fast-forwarded through the end.

Suck-Ass Performance of the Game: Liriano (4 innings, 7 earned runs)
