10/19 Astros @ SOX ALCS GAME 4 8:08PM

The umps weren't why the Sox stopped scoring after the first inning...

 

Actually, that bad call was one of just 23 in the game. Maybe the umps were part of the reason we didn't score after the first and before that one bad call you refuse to admit was even part of the reason we lost.

Their line-up stunk worse than ours after the first inning and up to the 8th.

 

We missed some golden opportunities that the Astros didn't have until the 9th.

 

The bad call was one reason we lost, and because it came at crunch time, it seems more important.

 

I guess I'll never understand why you and other see a team that was getting XBhs and walking a lot, but not scoring for 6, 7 then 8 innings automatically means they are doomed to never score again the rest of the game.

 

Did you see all our comeback wins, this year? Some in the playoffs?

 

Not very good thinking that being down by just 1 run means the game was over. Sounds like a quitter to me.

After the two-run HR by Bogey, we had 6 BB, 2 singles, a double, a triple and a reach on error. That's 11 runners in 8 innings- no runs.

 

It wasn't a total lack of offense. It was not getting a timely hit and not bunching our offense together, like the Astros did in the ninth.

 

It's a pattern that reared its ugly head several times during the season. Lets hope this was just a one game manifestation of it.

 

Tonight, we bunch our hits for several crooked numbers!
