3 Up, 3 Down

Mowing 'em down, while watching Sox v. Yanks (part 1) ...

3 Favorite Moments

1. Obviously, Big Papi's homer deserves a place here. It's great to see that he still has some magic against the Evil Empire.
2. Josh Beckett throwing 6 pitches to get out of the 6th inning --- including a 3-pitch strikeout of Mark Teixeira.
3. Jason Bay's 2-out triple in the bottom of the 8th. That's what they get for plunking him.

3 Favorite Stats

1. Combined numbers for Alex Rodriguez and Teixeira: 0 for 6, 2 BB, 2 Ks
2. Final Sox pitching line: 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 9 Ks, 135 pitches
3. Final Yankees pitching line: 9 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 7 BB, 4 Ks, 179 pitches

3 Biggest Distractions

1. Stanley Cup Finals - Game 6. Here's hoping the Penguins get a win and stretch this out to 7 games. As a hockey fan, its nice to see the guys on the ice getting a little national exposure.
2. NBA Finals - Game 3. I still smile whenever I think about the sign (directed at Kobe) seen in Boston during last year's finals --- "No Means No". What can I say? I think the guy's a scumbag.
3. "Family Guy" --- great way to pass the time during commercials. The only problem is, sometimes it sucks you in and you end up missing some of the game.
