Top o' the Afternoon

Well, I downloaded the 2006 rosters onto my MVP Baseball 2004 PC game and straightened a few things to get this years Royals and this years Red Sox. I started Meche against Schilling wearing the home blues. Meche allowed 2 runs in 6 innings while I got 7 runs off of Schil' thanks to HRs by DDJ and Emil Brown. Sanders and Teahen also contributed with RBI doubles to make it 7-2 in the 8th. However, Peralta and JDLR had control problems and Boston scored 4 in the 8th to make it 7-6. In the 9th, Dotel came in and after one out, allowed a solo shot to Coco Crisp to tie the game. After Timlin shut me down in the 9th, I brought in Gobble and he allowed 3 runs and I lost 10-7 in 10 innings. It was a very disappointing lost, but I'm game sure Game 2 will be different with Perez against Beckett.
