This is what I like to call a Warm and Fuzzy Game

These don't come along very often. You know those games where it seems like everything goes right for your team? A couple of dazzling plays, an unexpected great performance, a quick game? You feel awesome afterwards. This was one of those games for the Boston Red Sox. A Warm and Fuzzy Game.
First of all, the eighth inning just finished. Kason Gabbard just walked off the mound. Yes, you heard me correctly. Kason Gabbard and eight innings, directly associated with one another. A wonderful concept. Eight shutout innings, two hits, one walk, 6 strikeouts. And he's still in the dugout, 93 pitches. There is exactly one complete game for the Red Sox this season, by Dice-K. Gabbard just might have the other one.
Second of all, everyone's been in a tizzy about Manny and Ortiz's power numbers. Both of them went deep tonight. A great, great sign.
Third of all, Dustin Pedroia making some sparkling defensive plays in the field. And a homerun. He has firmly established himself as a Major Leaguer, and no one is thinking about Mark Loretta anymore.
Fourth of all, it's 4-0.
Fifth of all, they're playing Kansas City.
I don't care what anyone says. I'm not taking this with a grain of salt. This team is so schizophrenic, I'm going to cherish every game like this. I feel warm and fuzzy, and no one is going to take that away from me. Until tomorrow night.
