If the SOX win this one, I'll be 5-1 over my last 6 opening game threads. I'll be calling my agent, Boreass, to look into renegotiating my forum contract. I'm thinking 100 million/5 years.
In the good old days of baseball, when a batter hit a HR, the pitcher just threw at the next batter, no matter who it was. That did look intentional to me.
Just did some stat checking on Seattle. They're near the bottom in runs scored and batting average. Their team pitching ERA is actually a little higher than the SOX. Their defense is about in the middle of the league. So, again I ask the tough question of how is Seattle in contention?
