Boys Are Back in Town
The Chad Bradford for Jay Payton deal was finalized yesterday and Curt Schilling was activated. When the Red Sox take the field tonight, the bullpen will feature 100% more wacky submarine pitcher action and a decibel increase of 50 dB. Kevin Youkilis took the Lou Merloni Memorial Drive back down to Pawtucket along with right-handed pitcher Scott Cassidy. Just call it the Great Moneyball Swap of 2005.
Bronson Arroyo will start tonight against Mike Mussina, kicking off this pivotal series. I’ve managed to get tickets to two of the four games, so the next few days are particularly exciting for me.
