Well, the winning streak is over, time to start another one. I predict a riot. (Okay, I just wanted to say that because that damned Kaiser Chiefs song is in my head.) Arroyo really looked iffy out there today, and Millwood was really sharp. And wouldn’t you know it, the Cleveland Bullpen Reclamation Project even managed to get good innings out of Bobby Howry and Scott Sauerbeck. Howry, he of the 38 ERA+ for the Sox in 2003 and the 166 ERA+ for Cleveland in 2004? And Scott Sauerbeck, who apparently seems to have swapped bodies with Alan Embree? They were mocking the Sox! Mocking, I tells yah! Time for Arroyo to throw another oops-I-did-it-again unintentional-intentional HBP. Heh.
Meanwhile, apres Clint Barmes’ mysterious “grocery shopping” injury comes Oliver Perez’s laundry-cart kicking that put him on the DL. Between this and Kevin Brown’s hand injury, I’m thinking maybe after bad games pitchers should be placed in rooms with padded walls to take their aggression out on.
