Once again, busy

But not busy enough to stop bitching about the Red Sox.

They lost last night and it is directly related to them going scoreless 8 out of 9 innings.

No MLB team can expect to remain in playoff contention if they are only scoring runs about 10% of the time.

I'm beginning to lose faith in their ability to remain in playoff contention. They really, really need to start hitting the ball with an eye towards driving in the guys on base instead of trying to hit home runs that result in a catch for an out on the warning track.

Still busy so this is all you get.

Here are a couple of links:

• This is not the best way to start the season.



• And this, my friends, is why we'll never have flying cars.



• This seems like a shitty thing to do.

I'm busy

Maybe tomorrow.

Finally, a win

The Red Sox managed to avoid the sweep and beat the Judges 6-4 last night.

You would htink this would bring my much joy but I am a little concerned. You see, the 6 runs that the Red Sox got all came in the first inning. That means they went 8 scoreless innings.

No baseball team can expect to win games when they go scoreless 8 out of 9 innings.

Tonight they are off. Tomorrow the will start a 3-game series againt the Athletics.

Here are some links:

• This is actually a pretty good idea.



• I find it hard to believe anything this guy says.



• First Russia, now China. We're gonna be at war very soon.



• We should be building them here.



• I wonder if they're gonna put these in Greenland to prevent the Very Stable Genius from invading.

Yet another loss

The Red Sox lost to the Judges last yesterday, getting beat 5-3 and dropping 6 games behind the Blue Jays.

The batters are not moving the runners along. It's very frustrating to watch them leave runners on third and second.

Tonights game starts at 7:10 and Crochet has the start. They need to win this game if they want to remain in second place in the wild card.

Oh, and to make matters wrose, freakin' ESPN is carrying tonights game.

I hate ESPN.

The Patriots, however, managed to hold on and beat the Dolphins 33-27 this afternoon.

I thought Maye did a pretty good job throwing the ball but I gotta wonder why the Patriots limit their use of run.

Next up is Aaron "The Psycho" Rodgers and the Steelers. That is also a 1:00 game next Sunday, the 21st.

• I hate to tell you this governor but it's not in his best interest to cooperate with you. As a matter of fact, he has a constitutional right to not cooperate with you.



• Fashion: I don't get it.

More ground lost

The Red Sox lost to the Judges last night, getting beat 4-1. Add to that the fact the Blue Jays beat the Orioles and it means the Red Sox have lost more ground in the race to the playoffs.

Giolito had an "okay" outing, facing 23 batters over 5⅔ innings giving up 2 runs, walking 1 and striking out 6.

The problem is that the batters were not moving the runners along. Also, the Red Sox managed to make 3 errors in the field last night, one of which resulted in a run.

Today's starter is Bello and the first pitch was at 4:10 this afternoon.

As I post this, the score is 2-0 Judges in the top of the 1st inning.
