Final Score: Boston Red Sox 2, Chicago White Sox 4I really thought (hoped?) that rain was going to wash this one out. After the last few debacles the Red Sox have put together this month I think a precipitation fueled respite would do them well. Unfortunately, my rain dance didn’t have the staying power and it cleared up just enough for them to squeeze this in.
Maybe it was the delay, but Dice K was all over the place and his wildness was aided by the WORST strike zone of the season. The disaster that was the top of the 6th was as much the umps fault as it was Dice K’s crazy outside pitches. Thankfully MDC and Lopez were able to stop the bleeding.
Not that it mattered. For the 100,000th time this year the Sox couldn’t get anything done with men on base. Sure they got 11 hits… but it was 11 singles! Just a disaster. Maybe Eric was right because Youk was a knife in the back tonight. I now cringe when he is batting with men on. Cringe and change the channel if there are two outs.
By the time Oki came in and gave up an uncharacteristic homer to Konerko this was already decided. I have no IDEA what happened to this crew but they have shifted from the team that has the chance to win ANY game to a team that better get runs early because they are taking the 7th, 8th and 9th innings off.
Yanks lost too so they are still only 6 games back… but for how long? For the first time this season I feel real fear on this issue. Where are my big hits? Where are my win streaks? Maybe I should pray for rain for the rest of the season.
