Crespo: .165/.165/.215/.380

 

79 AB, 13 H, 6 R, 2 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 2 RBI, 0 BB, 20 K, 2 SB

 

Grebeck was worse IMO, but that's not giving much credit to Crespo.

 

Crespo is in the Braves organization, Grebeck is out of baseball.

Dude, Quinlan just stole a base. Catch one f***ing slow ass runner once, just once, you hacks behind the dish.

well the good news is both the white sox and twins lost...

The 2006 Boston Red Sox will be the first team in history to find a way to lose a game in the standings anyway. That is pretty undeniable based on what we are seeing.

Has anybody seen this from projo? Sorry if it has been posted already

 

On Friday night, in the fifth inning of the disastrous day-nighter that would set the tone for the Lost Weekend, official scorer Joe Giuliotti determined that Manny Ramirez had reached on an error by Derek Jeter. Jeter had gone into the shortstop hole to backhand a hard grounder, only to have the ball glance off his glove and roll into shallow left.

 

On the play, teammate Mark Loretta, running from second base, was thrown out at home by Yankees left fielder Melky Cabrera.

 

Ramirez was enraged by the call, and was so angry about it the next day that he had to be talked into playing the Saturday afternoon game. On Sunday, Ramirez sought out an MLB official to try to get the call reversed.

 

Think about that: In the middle of the Sox' three most dispiriting losses of the season, suffered at the hands of the team's archrival, Ramirez sulked about losing credit for a meaningless single that didn't even involve an RBI.

 

That's perspective for you.

 

(To give credit where it's due, Ramirez had an otherwise monster series, making one out in the course of five games while reaching base in 19 of 20 plate appearances. He hit two homers and knocked in seven runs).

 

But with his team's season in the balance, Ramirez intended to sit out to protest a scorer's call? Would Jeter do that? Would David Ortiz? Would, in fact, any other player in the game?

 

It's not much of a leap to think that Ramirez's early exit from yesterday's game -- he pulled himself out of the lineup after the fourth inning, telling trainers he was suffering cramps in the right hamstring -- was connected to the events of the previous two days.
