Wow, I’ve never seen the wheels fall off the bus so fast. Okay, not seen, heard: stupid MLB.tv keeps insisting that I live somewhere in America/Japan/Guam and therefore am not allowed to watch it. You can call them and get a cookie to fix this issue, but 1) the cookie doesn’t seem to work on my computer and 2) if it works, it lasts a few days and then poof, it’s gone. Given that I have a Singapore IP address, why does it keep doing this to me?
Back on point: so I listened to the game on WEEI thanks to Gameday Audio, and in a way I’m glad I didn’t see the whole horror show. Apparently Scioscia’s lefty-heavy lineup is genius, since despite having three lefties - Mike Myers, Alan Embree, John Halama - we can’t seem to get lefties out. The Sox almost threw out 200 pitches in the entire game - 196 pitches! UGH. I don’t often get to stay up to watch games, and I’m not quite sure being up till 5am was worth it now.
