In Game 14, the Texas Rangers, a group usually best known for preventing thievery than for causing it, stole 9 bases (NINE), the most Boston has surrendered in a game since 1913 (NINETEEN THIRTEEN), and still lost, 7-6.
Spare part outfielder Darnell McDonald, who was called up when 2/3 of Boston's starting outfield went on the disabled list today, came through in fine fettle with a game tying home run and a game winning Wall single in the bottom of the ninth off of Frank "I Coulda Been A Closer" Francisco.

ReplyDeleteThanks, John, but no thanks. I prefer to keep things non commercial around these parts.
