I was 9, my dad woke me up to see the last few outs. I remeber Gedman's passed ball and running to my bunkbed crying. My dad had to come and give the "it's just a game speech."
Agreed that Schiraldi and Stanley were the reasons they lost.
Sorry, can't blame losses to the Bucs and Stros on a lack of DH. Sox have always domimated the NL with or w/o DH. They are just sucking right now.
Guess some of our worries during the 9 game streak were justified, no?
