Meanwhile, I hate it when you get all pumped up from the first game of a doubleheader, and then the second one lets all the air out. Reminds me of that day in 2002 when the Sox won the first 22-4 (Nomar: 8 RBIs on his birthday; Willie Banks: cheapest save of the year) and then collapsed in the second.
Pauley needs to field his position if he’s going to be a groundball pitcher. And was anyone else just as frustrated when Tito didn’t pinch-hit for Mirabelli with two on two outs in the 7th? Stud Who Hits Bombs? This year, it’s pretty much “shit, where’s his bat?”…
