Yup - "gem " is indeed the word to describe last night's Sox game. This is the David Wells the Red Sox hoped they would get - he surrendered just one hit over seven innings and gave what Jerry Remy called "a pitching clinic". Of course the Rem Dawg was quick to point out that no sooner had he said that than Wells gave up back-to-back walks (having walked only four batters all year), but if a pair of walks is the only thing we have to worry about from our starting pitchers every time they take the mound, then I think we'll be happy chappies.
