When they do the double dutch that’s them dancing…
So the Sox split the doubleheader with Seattle, no thanks to the bad luck for Cla Meredith on his big league debut… Meredith having given up the wind-aided grand slam. Can’t they be like track and field records and not count hits if the wind’s above a certain speed? Heh. Still, I like Cla’s callup, and his attitude towards being inserted in a big spot is great:
“I saw that drifting and drifting and drifting. I knew then it wasn’t going to be an outcome,” said Meredith, who described himself as “pumped up but not nervous” about being thrust into a tie game. “I wouldn’t have wanted it to be any different.
Watching the first game, it was clear that the wind also robbed the Sox there… Millar almost had his first homer, Mirabelli almost had a couple. And Jay Payton’s a GREAT bat to have off the bench, but still, it was scary to see Manny leave the game.
