Little Bit of History Repeating

I was quite serious when I said this about Dale Sveum:
Sending Roberts home (with no outs and your team down by one) was an incredibly stupid play. Being oblivious to the fact that Baldelli led the majors last year in assists adds insult to injury. Saying you'd do the same thing again is criminal. And Tito 'supporting' his guy makes me want to pull my hair out.

And Dale himself was as good as his word when he said of that play...
To be honest with you, if we did it tomorrow night, I'd do the same thing again.

...because he did it again today. Twice in fact, sending both Millar and Varitek to be thrown out at the plate by, you guessed it, Baldelli.

Come Wendell Kim. We miss you.

Addendum
Lest anyone think I'm all gloom n' doom I should note that:
a)the Sox on the game, 6-0.
b)Petey pitched a gem of a game. Whatever dopple-Pedro that was inhabiting the uniform has been banished back to the mirror universe; this was vintage Prince P. To wit - a complete game (his third strait game with ten-plus K's) and his first shutout in four years. Dig it.
