We all know Holder needs to go back to Scranton and eat his Wheaties (at the very least).

But what about the Red Sox? Their loss last night to the BJs included FOUR wild pitches by Sox pitchers. They had a 6-1 lead until the 7th. The game was played in Boston.

Ben-no-tendi and Bogie both made errors.

They used 6 pitchers, who combined threw 197 pitches. The starter went 5, giving up one unearned run (taken out after hurling 83 pitchers).

....and at the end of the night, they were 9 games back in the loss column. To a team their fans really, really hate.

Mind you, the BJs were 27-and-49 before the game ended, and are being kept from last place in the East only b/c the owner of the Orioles refused to re-register his team in some AA league.

My imagination tells me that if the Yankees played a game like this -- at home -- featuring 2 errors and 4 wild pitches, this blog would be presented the next day in white type on a black background!!!

Win Warb......preferably bound and gagged and beaten and tossed in the back seat of a car.


JFB. LOL, they walked 6 straight batters. Each reliever they brought in to face one batter walked each one to force in 2 runs.

WOWOWOW > that RS recap loss was glorious to watch!

But...there's always a but...the Socks have been playing pretty damn good for a while, including while we sucked for a while. Those London games will mean something. If we can win both, it's another nail. If they win both, they're not dead yet.

Sending them into the break with a double digit mountain to climb in the loss column would be ideal. And Scottish Fan would be happy as hell.

Nice to see that—for the first time in two years—their nothing bullpen seems to be reverting to the mean.

BUT...all they need to do is get into the playoffs, and with those starters, they have a huge shot. Another thing wrong with the game when you don't have to win anything in the regular season.

And Joe FOB, I suppose we'd be more sanguine about things, too, if we'd won 4 rings in the last 15 years.
