Okay, I know, a game against the Yankees counts only as much as a game against, say, the Padres. Only not. Yuck. Honestly, though, if this loss spurs the Sox to play like the Y*nk**s have for the last month, I would be very grateful.
As I said elsewhere, why do Sox fans have to be the ones to report to the Tobin? I’ve been thinking about James Surowiecki’s new book on the wisdom of crowds, and it does seem crowds can have an innate intelligence about them. So can’t a mob form to carry Millar to the bridge for the old heave-ho?
More seriously, can we put McCarty at first? He can’t be worse than Millar at the plate at the moment, and he has a glove.
