Oh Boy......

Well the 2009 season has started out with a bang! uhh I mean a dud.... I am sitting here on a Tuesday night watching the 2-5 Red Sox play horrible on the west coast. What a week it has been for Red Sox nation.... The Sox open up the season playing awesome ball winning 5-3 and I thought this season would be a good one. Then I go to the game on Wednesday and think we have a great chance of winning because my 2009 Cy Young winner is pitching....boy was I wrong. We end up losing the next 2 games to the 2008 AL East champions.

Then the sox have to fly to LA to play the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim California in the United States of America. You have to feel bad for the Angels with the passing of their top prospect Nick Adenhart who was killed by some drunk ass hit and killed him and 2 of his friends. Not only was 3 20 somethings lost but the driver who has been pulled over before for driving drunk was hit with 3 counts of murder...oh he was also 22.

And to make matters worse Adenhart pitched the game of his young life on Wednesday night, he was killed just a few short hours after.

So the next game for the Angels was Friday night against the sox and I had a feeling they would come out swinging. The emotional Angels won Friday night 6-3 beating Tim Wakefield. Then on Saturday the Red Sox had their first comeback of the season winning behind Brad Penny 5-4. The Sox were winning 5-3 but their usually reliable closer gave up a run in the 9th inning and almost blew the game.

Then came Easter Sunday...... Our ace Josh Beckett was on the mound and I thought that they had no chance against us....

Then in the first inning as Josh Beckett was facing Bobby Abreu a bench clearing brawl broke out. What was weird about this was that no one got hit or anything. What had happened was that Abreu thought that Beckett was taking to long to pitch and called time out. The problem was that Josh was already in his pitching motion and could not stop. Now this is were things got weird. Josh continued to throw the ball but when he let it go to went in the direction of Abreu's head. Then Abreu and Beckett started to yell while both bench's charged the field.

This little fight resulted in 4 ejections but none of them were any Red Sox players and Beckett was allowed to play the rest of the game. The sox ended up losing the game 5-4.

Then MLB announced that they were going to suspend Beckett for 6 games (which equals to 1 start) for not acting remorseful to which Josh Beckett said "Am I supposed to go give him a hug? I wasn't really in a hugging mood right then. I don't really know what he wanted me to do."

Now I dont really agree with the 6 game suspension because the umps at the game decided it was unintentional so now Bud is overruling them. It is a hard thing to make a call on because as a pitcher you are taught to throw the ball no matter what but you never throw at someones head.
