I should take a vacation more often.

While I was away from the PawSox the team goes 7-2 and is playing its most consistent baseball of the year.  It was a bummer not to be at McCoy during the last homestand.  I’ll be back when the team returns late next week.

In the meantime I am back to resume my work here at PawSox Blog.  Thanks for your patience.

As much fun as it is to write about the PawSox on a daily basis, it is more fun to spend quality time with my family.

I will be doing just that for a little over a week.  I hope to be back by May 20th.

While I’m away get your PawSox fix from PawSox.com and our friends (and PawSox announcers) Dan Hoard and Steve Hyder.

The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Buffalo Bisons are knotted 1-1 after three innings this afternoon at McCoy.

The PawSox took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second.  With one out 1B Aaron Bates laced a double to right center off Bisons starter R.A. Dickey.  After advancing to third on a fly out to right by Mark Wagner, Bates scored on an RBI single by Daniel Nava.

The Bisons had a great chance to score a bevy of runs after loading the bases with none out in the top of the third off PawSox starter Randor Bierd.  Buffalo could only score one run on a 6-3 double play by C Josh Thole.

Bierd has walked three and struck out three though three innings.

I failed to mention that PawSox Blog is now on Twitter!

Take a few moments and follow us!

The Red Sox open their 2010 regular season tonight, meaning the PawSox 2010 campaign is right around the corner!
