Out of the jam yes, but now it's a one run game.
I'm going to make a drink, though I don't usually drink on worknights.

"Typical"? The Red Sox are 9 for 17 against Westbrook after 4.
A .529 average.
The guy is living on borrowed time.

Going to bed soon, watching my team playing a tight game is stressful enough, watching the manager give it away is yet another experience I do not need to live through yet again.
Got to get up early for work, I'll hope for some runs in the Sox next at bat(s). See you all on the Forum or maybe the next series.

Time for a couple of long balls. Would like to see Ortiz and Manny go back-to-back.

I said typical, but gave up a few more hits than normal.
I totally agree he’s on borrowed time. I’d be screaming for Wedge to take him out but I know it is useless. Wedge is managing this like a regular game.

What is going on with Ramirez’s batting helmet? It’s so worn and dirty you can’t make out the logo.
