Random Thoughts (August 22, 2009)

I apologize for not giving an update but TheBostonInsider was once again lucky to be a guest with Mark Linehan and Bernie Corbett on "Rounding Third from the Baseball Tavern" on ESPN 890 AM. We were fortunate to have Adam Kilgore of the Boston Globe among our guests. Kilgore, for those of you who ignore the Globe (I don't blame you if you cite Shaughnessy as the reason), is a rising star in the baseball world. It will not be a surprise when ESPN steps up and adds Kilgore to their stable of baseball writers. The show is hoping to have on Oregon head football coach Chip Kelly next week... Less than 24-hours after the Yankees pounded the Red Sox, Boston responded today with an impressive 14-1 victory. Rookie hurler Junichi Tazawa tossed six scoreless innings and Kevin Youkilis led the offense with two homeruns and six RBI. Tomorrow night's series finale, to be aired on ESPN at 8 PM, will feature a Josh Beckett-CC Sabathia matchup... I'm not going to be shocked when Tedy Bruschi fails to make the Patriots 53-man roster... Enjoy Beckett tomorrow...
