BOSTON - JULY 06:  Nomar Garciaparra #1 of the Oakland Athletics was greeted by cheering fans on his first at bat against the Boston Red Sox on July 6, 2009 at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Phillies should not have gone for two last night against the Reds, that was just rubbing it in. 
It is always amazing when you see a score like that (22-1) come across the bottom of the television screen. Even more so when you realize that one of the pitchers involved decided to give up nine runs without even getting out of the first inning. 
The other major story last night took place in Boston. Regardless of how he left, the return of Nomar Garciaparra to Boston was impressive. The Boston fans did exactly what they should have done, and he responded in kind.  
You could tell that this was not Johnny Damon coming back, or Roger Clemens for that matter. Nomar was always different in Boston, and his reception felt that way. Kudos to the Red Sox fans in attendance for doing it up right. 
On to the notes.
