BLOW-SOX EASE UP ON MARLINS, BLOW 7 RUN LEAD
Florida Marlins 10
Boston Red Sox 9
RECAP
BOX SCORE
I guess the Marlins got payback for the Sox actually playing good baseball Friday night and scoring as many runs as possibl ewhilst simultaneously attempting to limit the opposing team to as few runs as possible. Serves them right! (sarcasm)
A few questions for Grady Gump and the Sox:
1. Why was Jackson used as a defensive replacement in the 9th in a game in which the Marlins are coming back and our bullpen is being shitty as usual? Doesn't he have an injured thumb as well? Wouldn't it make more sense to use him on the basepaths and only on the basepaths?
2. Why does Mirabelli always have to catch for Wakefield? What the fuck is up with that? There's only one other pitcher I can think of that has a personal catcher and that is Greg Maddux. Tim Wakefield is no Greg Maddux.
3. What is Lyon doing throwing anything near a strike to Mike Lowell with an 0-2 count? Hey Lyon, Mirabelli, ever hear of a WASTE PITCH?!? BOUNCE A CURVE/SPLITTER, THROW A FASTBALL IN THE DIRT OR UP AND IN!!!
Key Factoids
Juan Pierre: reached base 5 out of 5 Plate Appearances
Gabe Kapler: went 4 for 5, HR shy of the cycle
B. Lyon: 1st Blown Save of the season.
The Man of the Game was going to be a toss up between Pierre, Kapler, and Nomar (he had 4 RBI) but Pierre made a sensational catch to record the 2nd out of the bottom of the 9th and threw to second to double up Varitek. Here are the MOTG standings after 20 awarded:
1. Nomar-4
2. Millar-3
3. Nixon-2
4. Mueller, Burkett, Sanchez, Rupe, Lyon, J. Crede (CWS), E. Loiza (CWS), JD Drew (StL), B. Myers (PHI), J. Pierre (FLA)-1
The Bitch-Goat will be divided thusly: Varitek will get 0.1 for his moronic baserunning. It would be more, but he got on base in the first place. Lyon will get 0.6 B-G points for his Blown Save. Wakefield will get 0.1 for his lackluster performance and Grady Little will get 0.2 for his dumbness. Here are the B-G standings:
1. Manny - 0.8
2. Lyon - 0.6
3. Rupe - 0.4
4. Grady, Varitek - 0.2
6. Walker, Nomar, Millar, Mueller, Seanez, Timlin, Shiell - 0.1
Keep in mind this is a relatively new thing so the numbers reflect only a short period of Bitch-Goats.
Gabe Kapler was promoted for tonight's game. Giambi was placed on the 15-Day Disabled List. He's suffering from a disloacted offensive production muscle.
Y*nks won twice against the Mutts. Why the fuck do they get to play the Mets six times a year? Jays lost to Montreal, A's lost to San Fran. Sox in second in the AL East, 3.5 behind the scum. Sox are 1 game ahead of Oakland and Toronto for the Wild Card.
Here's some Y*nkee injury news. Bernie is on the mend as is Jon "Steinbrenner signed me so the Sox couldn't" Lieber.
Lowe and Penny go at it tonight in the rubber game. Let's hope Lowe continues his Fenway dominance and the sox bats remain alive.
