Sox 3, Yankees 5: Leiter? I hardly even know her!

·1 min

Yes, I watched supposedly washed-up Al Leiter methodically plow through the Sox lineup, while the ESPN announcers gushed over his “revitalisation”. No, I didn’t really feel like writing about it. Hey, it’s just one game. But one ugly game to watch.

And for the Bellhorn “oh, he Ks too much” haters - he’s done gone and jammed his thumb, and I’m crossing my fingers that that doesn’t mean we’ll see more of Alex Cora, hitter… that reminds me, I was amused when my Maxim fantasy baseball preview (I bought it for the articles. Really! It’s the only one I saw that had the White Sox and the Padres leading their respective divisions…) featured Jerry O’Connell picking Alex Cora as his 2nd player in a fantasy draft. Double plays are real rally killers. Way more than strikeouts.
