In my angst about a possible trade last night, I missed out on telling you all about Jeff Bailey and Charlie Zink!!  Congratulations are in order!  Bailey was named “International League Most Valuable Player” for the year and Zink was named “International League Most Valuable Pitcher”!

Along with those honors, four PawSox players made the “International League Post-Season All-Star Team” (chosen by the league’s managers and coaches as well as the IL media and other representatives of the clubs) – Zink (as the starting pitcher), Bailey, Joe Thurston (along with Bailey, currently up with the BoSox) and Chris Carter.

Last night, Bailey went 2-4, scoring a run and knocking in two RBI, yet Andy Pettitte was quoted after the game as saying “(Jeff Bailey) I think that’s his name”.  Andy, you gave up 10 hits in less than 5 innings…yeah, that’s his name, asswipe.

Didn’t get much sleep last night, yet woke up in quite a good mood.  It’s nice that baseball doesn’t ruin my moods like it used to, but still helps put me in a BETTER frame of mind when we get a great night like we did last night.

I’m in such a good mood, I’m not even going to bitch about Paul Byrd (who happens to be pitching against SIdney Ponson tonight).  Taking at least two out of three in the series would be sweet.  If Byrd’s the guy to help us do it…let him have at it.
