So: I tune in to watch Jeremi Gonzalez turn in a decent effort, and then next inning up, I watch Carlos Pena launch one against the immortal Blaine Neal. Which leads me to conclude: I am not going to watch the Sox games as I get ready for work. At least for now. Seems to jinx things.
Time for my questions:
What was with all the triples today? Freaky.
What was with Neal being out there? I suppose when your starter only goes 5 (not blaming J-Gon, that was a very credible debut) that’s what happens, you need arms for the 6th and 7th, and it’s a grab bag of Neal, Mantei, and Embree. But boy, Blaine’s making me wish Dave McCarty wasn’t DFA’d.
Why do the Sox keep leaving men on base? Very frustrating.
