Small Balls

The Sox scored six runs Sunday and never hit a long ball. It looks like there are unintentionally getting tuned up for inter-league play. Only David Ortiz had 2 RBI the other four came from four other hits (Millar, Bellhorn, Mueller, and Olerud). In baseball terms I am not sure what 'grinding it out' is but it was apparent Sunday that the Red Sox 'out grinded' or would it be 'out ground' the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? Lets just thank our lucky stars that Vladimir Guerrero was not in the line up to help his fellow grinders with all the grinding The L.A.A had to do this weekend, and don't forget about Lou Merloni, I hear he is a grinder as well, and he is currently grinding his way back from the DL in The OC as well. Maybe grinding means that your team can come back in the late innings after being down? If so one must thank Johnny Damon for doing the grinding Friday night and Bellhorn for starting the grinding Sunday afternoon. Millar's solo shot of a homer Saturday during the loss must not have grinded enough to spark more grinding.
Wade Miller was the starter, who grinded it out for Sox all the way into the seventh. You gotta love when the starter can grind into the seventh. Even though Miller gave up three runs which tied the game (not exactly grind-tastic) he ground it out to get the job done. Mike Myers was on the mound during the inning when Bellhorn was grinding him self a sac fly... so it turned out Myers was the winner Sunday or perhaps the ultimate grinder.
