Well, actually, the truth is more like "insomniac in a dorm room in Africa with a can of Pringles", but hey, you take what you can get.
Holy cow, a 1-2-3 inning with less than 25 pitches!
Anybody know why there's no Drew today? Just a regular day off?
Durrrr... Bastardo's a lefty. OK, never mind. I'm just missing Drew's 3.753 OPS (or something like that) in the #2 slot.
I'd be hacked off, too. I always get more hacked off when the umps cost the Sox a game than when the Sox costs the Sox a game.
That said, one extra run only gets you to the bottom of the 9th, and I'm thinking that Sox bullpen vs. Yanks bullpen in Fenway is a likely Yanks loss anyway. But I get your point.
I'm surprised that no one has noted the considerable combined weight of the starting pitchers. That's a lot of beef (or lard, I guess). Maybe not the highest combined weight ever (has Colon ever faced Ponson?), but pretty hefty nonetheless.
