Boomer's Turn
Not even a week after his horrible Triple A outing , 42-year old hellion David Wells takes the mound for the Sox tonight against one of his many former teams, the Blue Jays. Wells, as you no doubt know, had an eventful offseason. He had knee surgery, demanded to be traded because of an overall lack of privacy, and then casually informed Theo one day in spring training that he'd be willing to stay. Thanks, Dave. Interestingly, Wells has always been on record as saying he'd love to blow up Fenway, but did you know the surly, burly man has a 16-1 record at Fenway since 1998? That's borderline insane. Here's hoping past history - and the jolt that comes when you're pitching in front of a packed house at Fenway instead of a sparse minor-league crowd - picks the big man up. If Wells can just duplicate what he did last year (15-7, 4.45) this pitching staff is going to be very, very tough.
