I Was Just Wide Awake for Some Reason...

I got up around 2:30 to use the facilities, went back to bed and found myself just wide awake. After thinking for a while, I decided to get up. Went downstairs and logged on to Boston Dirt Dogs to see what might be new. Low and behold, the Sox have signed Matt Clement, a pitcher formerly of the Cubs. This is excellent news; the rotation is shaping-up: Schilling, former Yankee nemesis Wells (a lefty), and now Clement.

Wells won 12 games for the Padres last year, with an ERA of 3.7; Clement's ERA was also 3.7 and he won 9 for the Cubbies.

Just the other day Chris was lamenting the fact that Carl Pavano didn't sign with the Sox and worrying they wouldn't get another good pitcher (he and his mother share an "Irish outlook" on some things.) He'll be pleased to hear the news when he gets up tomorrow.
