Thousands of people all over the country are glued to their televisions on a day like this. It's week three of the college football season, and even though UGA has a bye, you can guarantee that football will be on all afternoon. I, however, am spending my Saturday propped up in my living room feeling very fortunate that Fox is broadcasting the second game of the Red Sox/Yankees series.
The Sox won last night 8-4, earning their 90th win of the season. Every Sox fan is taught to have a deep seeded hate for the Yankees and most NY sports in general, so the fact that they're 11-6 against the Yanks so far this season makes me ecstatic.
C.C Sabathia is pitching for the Yankees today, and being that he's one of their more solid pitchers, I'm thrilled that it's only the fourth inning and we already have six hits against him. He's never been well-received in Boston, though. Since he became a Yankee in 2009, Sabathia's career ERA at Fenway is a whopping 6.62. Also, fun fact, today marked the first time in twenty years that the Sox have consecutively hit sacrifices over two innings against New York.
Heading out of the 5th inning, the Sox have earned 5 RBIs from 5 different batters.
Keep it up boys :)
