Red Sox at As 2009 Game 3

Tim Wakefield was fantastic, nearly perfect in fact - a no hitter thru 7 1/3rd. Boy did he provide a big lift to a team in desperate need of one. Home runs by Lowell and Drew provided the spark. Red Sox win 8-2 on Wake's complete game 4-hitter.

A sunny and warm day in Oakland and a great crowd helped make up for last night's debacle. Jackie Robinson Day; all the players wore 42. Life is good again.

I still remember seeing Wake way back in the summer of '95(?) when he had that crazy streak and was unhittable. I hope he manages to pitch for the Sox till he is 50.

At least you got to see one win. Wanna come see Sox-Nats in June?

Remember it this game (click link)?We still have to work out our summer travel schedule - of course it may well have to be coordinated with the Sox schedule. Thanks for the thought.
