A quick announcement before I talk about the Sox. On behalf of Theo, Kapler, Youks, Adam Stern, and all of these guys, I’d like to wish everyone a happy Jewish New Year. Let’s hope this next year of baseball is better than the last. L’shana tova tikatevu.

Now, can somebody please explain to me who pitched for the Red Sox last night? When I turned on Sportscenter I saw this come up on the bottom line:

BOS 7 TOR 1
WP: Tavarez (4-4)
LP: Lilly (14-13)
BOS Tavarez: CG, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

While I was extremely confused, I knew it had to be true. Why? Because there’s no form of alcohol or drugs that would ever cause a hallucination where I would have a vision of Julian Tavarez pitching a complete game. It’s just too far fetched.

If you are on some crazy drugs then I apologize for the picture above. I thought after such an impressive performance Tavarez finally deserved a picture of him smiling. I know, it’s just as scary as him frowning. I hope not to hear news about somebody jumping out of a window after seeing that picture, because it’s a distinct possibility.
