The Boston Red Sox made the short trip across Ft. Myers to Hammond Stadium to take on the Minnesota Twins in a Mayor’s Cup Game. The Red Sox came away 6-4 winners to take a 3-1 lead in the Mayor’s Cup.
The biggest news of the day though wasn’t the fact that Josh Beckett was scratched from his start but rather the startling news that No. 1 Red Sox prospect Ryan Westmoreland is going to be out indefinitely.
Over the next week or so, you may see a reduction in the number of posts as I have some personal business to attend to. This business will keep me away from a computer for the better part of the day.
I will do my best when I am home to provide you with as many posts as I can.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your consideration.
The UConn Huskies men’s basketball team opened up the 2009-10 season in the NIT Season Tip-off where they eventually lost to Duke in the finals. And fittingly enough, the Huskies season will end in the Postseason NIT.
How far they will get will depend on which UConn team shows up on Tuesday night when they’ll host the Northeastern Huskies on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Gampel Pavilion. The game will be nationally-televised on ESPN2.
The winner will take on the winner of the Quinnipiac/Virginia Tech game.
Irish tenor Roman Tynan is probably best known for singing “God Bless America” at New York Yankees’ games during the 7th inning stretch. But after being accused of anti-Semitic remarks, Tynan left New York and has relocated to Boston.
While the Boston Red Sox currently have no plans for Tynan to sing at games, Massachusetts state senator Jack Hart gave Tynan a Red Sox jersey to wear as he sang “God Bless America” to close out the annual St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast in Boston on Sunday.
