Fun not lost in translation

I'm knocking this out before our second game of the Red Sox because I won't have any time later. We have to hustle to the airport right after the game, but since I didn't give you anything after last night's game, I'll just kind of wrap the trip up for you from my perspective right now. I felt like I threw pretty well last night. My control wasn't exactly what I wanted it to be; it's not that I was throwing a lot of balls, but some of my strikes weren't the kind of quality pitches I'm looking for. The pitch that hurt me the most was actually a pretty good pitch. I was in a tough situation in the sixth inning, with a couple runners on and David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez coming up, and that's a big-time 1-2 punch right there. I snuck past Big Papi, but Manny just hit a good pitch for that two-run double. He got me, but he gets everyone sooner or later. He's really that good. I'd have liked to go a little longer than I did, but...
