What really got me about the game was the fact that, despite knowing that they were going to get nothing but strikes, all of the Red Sox batters kept either striking out looking or taking two obvious strikes and then striking out swinging. It was a game that they could have had a chance at winning if they actually swung the bat.
Overall, it was a bad night, with the Sox losing, the Yankees winning, and the Reds (my NL team) losing.

IMHO, the Red Sox consistently do not play "smallball" well. Tonight's game is a good example: Renteria - in that second spot - should be more of a contact hitter, with the goal of just moving the guys along the bases. Maybe Graffanino should be hitting second?
Sox blowin' it again tonight... :-(
