Game Thirty Four and Thirty Five: Losing Early, Losing Late

In Game Thirty Four last night, Boston fell before the mighty wrath of Matt Palmer and the Angles, 8-4. After jumping out to a 4-0 lead, Tim Wakefield had a Tim Wakefield Inning in the third, highlighted by a Mike "Casa De" Napoli 3 run homer to give the lead to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California. Once Palmer got the advantage, he made the most of it, holding Boston hitless over the final 6 frames to seal the win.

In Game Thirty Five this afternoon, Boston came back and tied the game in the fourth and eighth innings, then loaded the bases in the top of the 12th and did not score before Metropolitan District Commission surrendered a run and the game in the twelfth. David Ortiz was 0 for 7, leaving 12 runners on base, including the entire current roster along with Billy Goodman, Rick Burleson, and Dick Stuart.

Sigh.

Boston moves on to Seattle tomorrow, with the smoking ruins of Jon Lester facing off against the immortal Chris Jakubauskas.

  1. Yeah, wasn't pretty today. I am really starting to wonder how long Tito can leave Ortiz in the 3 hole. You just can't have that kind of lack of production in that spot.

  4. I tuned in the Rockets when they were leading 17-1.

    Really, Lakers? 6 minutes gives you ONE point? That's only one more than I had, and I'm 3000 miles away.

    This Rockets team has a lot of heart.
