Sox 7, Mariners 14: Cla aching

·1 min

Well… um… Bellhorn hit his first homer today.

Always look on the bright side of life… *whistles*

And Trot Nixon had some really spectacular looking catches.

Always look on the bright side of life… *whistles*

Oh well. What to say? The good luck with spot starters like Jeremi Gonzalez and John Halama couldn’t last forever. Cla Meredith was rushed too soon seems clear, but at least it does seem like the Sox were testing not just Cla himself - a little bit of forepla? - but testing out a theory about going with the “hot hand”. Guess it just didn’t work this time. Hope that doesn’t discourage him…

Speaking of going with the hot hand and failing, Chris Reitsma gave up a grand slam today, spoiling one of my fantasy teams. Ick.

And the way Ichiro holds that bat like a sword before an at-bat always intrigues me.
