May 15, 200619 yr Didn't see this mentioned anywhere, forgive me if it was. Just heard on Mike and Mike that Mark is the first pitcher in 106 years to give up 7 runs in the 1st inning and still go on to win the game. Kind of a "bad news/good news" stat, huh? I'm sure Mark doesn't ever want to be involved in that kind of stat again.
May 15, 200619 yr Most guys would have been pulled and their team would have given up. I know I gave the standard oh s***, I get to see a game on "real tv" and they suck tonight. I didn't realize I was in for a very entertaining game.
May 15, 200619 yr Yep, Ozzie deserves a lot of dap for sticking with his guys. And that's a big reason these players perform so well. Because if the consensus of SoxTalk was doing the managing last night....

Right; last night had to test Ozzie a bit more. Sure there were some errors, but it looked like every hit in that first was a shot. It's just reassuring IMO to have someone like that as a manager, because he'll never really lose his team like that. As I was alluding to earlier, it's just nice to know our manager isn't as fickle as the fan base tends to be.
