What can one say? These Sox at any given moment can put up a 7-spot in an inning and just as quickly give up 4 runs. Mike Remlinger certainly isn’t pitching like he wants to stay in his hometown, although at least today his 1 2/3 scoreless innings was a step in the right direction. Although until today Remlinger had never played in a game the Sox lost. So: Remlinger good, Sox lose. Remlinger bad, Sox win. Ack.
The Yankees, on the other hand, have provided some marvelous comedy to alleviate the stresses of Sox watching. Alan “the Mole” / “Embedded Red Sock” Embree has finally found a way this season to help the Sox. Walking in the winning run, or giving up the winning run on a wild pitch… mmm.
