Sox Recap - game from September 8th, 2009

He's a Young Gun !!!!!

Ok, here's another attempt at creativity... it took awhile BUT sing it to the beat of Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi.... it's in the playlist.... positive feedback only please... KIDDING !!!!

I watched the Red Sox last night
With Clay Buchholz on the hill
He's got a heater and a curve ball
And a change up that stands still
He only gave up 3 hits
With the kid you can't go wrong
He was a master on the bump
He struck out 5
And pitched 7 innings strong

When they called him up this year
Many wondered where he'd been
He was growing up on the "farm"
They brought him up so they could win
Who thought he may get traded
Nuf Ced said that was wrong
He's a surgeon on the hill
When he takes the pill
I knew it wouldn't be long

They won the game, on the arm of Buchy
Their bats woke up, as they hit 6 bombs
You can rely, on the arm of Buchy
He'll give you 7 strong
When he's on the bump
With less than 3 runs
Clay's a young gun

You ask if he's the real deal
But you must remember this
He pitched 7 innings last night
Not a runner crossed the dish
If that don't prove it to ya
Remember he pitched a no-hit game
The more work he gets
The better he'll pitch
He may just do it again

It ROCKS, that arm of Buchy
He sure can pitch, when he has the chance
You can rely, on the arm of Buchy
He'll give ya 7 strong
When he's on the bump
With less than 3 runs
Clay's a young gun

Each night he takes the mound
There's a good chance that he'll win
He's maturing right in front of us
Getting stronger every game
I hope he can stay healthy
Can only pray that he will
Cuz we need him every 5 days
We need to see him on the hill
Trying to make the play-offs
We need Clay Buchholz on the hill

They'll win the game, on the arm of Buchy
He sure can pitch, when he has the chance
You can rely, on the arm of Buchy
He'll give you 7 strong
When he's on the bump
With less than 3 runs
Clay's a young gun
He's our young gun, yeah
Young gun, yeah, young gun....

Anyway, the Sox won but lost ground in the wild-card race as Texas took a twinbill... gaining a half game and cutting the lead to 2...

Pedey decided not to bother with doubles last night and blasted 2 big flies (and 3 rbi and a walk)... joining the fireworks and going yard were Youkah, Gonzo (plus a double), JD (3-run jobby), and Papi (plus a single AND now tied with Frank Thomas for most long balls all time by a DH !!!!).... VMart chipped in with a double and an rbi, Jacoby had a hit and a walk.... and uh, even Josh Reddick (NO COMMENT !!!!) banged out a hit... I TOLD you we'd see him again !!! Nuf Ced

Big game tonight... yeah yeah yeah... Byrdman is on the bump... I'll just be crossing my fingers that the fireworks will continue in Beantown....

As always..... it's been real..... it's been fun..... and it really has been lots of fun !!!!!
