Perhaps this team is special were the words of Manager Scott Wisniewski after the Red Sox defeated the Cardinals 5-3 to head to the pony league championship series next week. Despite outside distractions and key injuries, this Sox team continues to win games and show off thier impressive maturity. Thursday night was no different. Stand out rookie Tyler Kube was a last minute scratch and the defense faltered a tad in a three run 5th for the Cardinals but the Sox remained unfazed, held serve and won the game on an amazing 8-5 double play in the seventh. "thats one heck of a team we beat today. You play that game 100 times and maybe both teams win 50" the skipper said about the Cardinals.

Motivated perhaps by his slide down the order, Robert Decker blasted two doubles and drove in six in the Red Sox 17-5 opening round victory against the Pirates on Tuesday night. Decker was the leader of the hit parade that included multi-hit games from Sam Cartegna, Mike Hartmann and Dustin Reck as well. The only concern coming out of this victory was the overall health of the Red Sox. Marc DiMatteo and Garrett Hollenbeck continue to have their playing time monitored due to injuries. As if those ailing sluggers didnt cause enough stress to head coach Scott Wisniewski, it appears that stand out rookie Tyler Kube may miss the second round game due to a worsening hamstring injury.

After the 9-4 loss to the Yankees on Saturday many excuses were offered up for the loss varying from the pitching mound to the umpires to the stage of the moon not being condusive to play baseball in. The only excuse for the loss was overall poor play and lack of effort. Shotty play in the field (4 errors) and an inability to get ahead of hitters (only 6 first pitch strikes in first 20 hitters) were the reasons for the defeat. At the plate the same old story reared its ugly head. When a strike throwing pitcher takes the bump against the sox, they allow first pitch strikes to go by without nary lifting the bat off their shoulders. Max Golden threw 19 first pitch strikes of which only 7 were swung at. The Sox had a chance to take over first but instead fall to 6-2. The red hot Pirates are up next on Tuesday.
