Well, they didn't lose last night

The game was suspended in the 10th inning when storms rolled in.  The score was 4-4 and they will resume play on August 22nd.

They should have won.

When I went to bed, it was the 6th inning and the Red Sox were in the lead, 4-2. All the bullpen had to do was hold those 2 runs.

They couldn't do it.

At least they didn't lose.

The Angels are in Boston for a four game series and Sale gets the ball tonight. I'm hoping that he pitches like the Sale of last season.

I've judiciously avoided talking about the mass shootings recently. I avoid talking about them because I do not view guns as the problem. I view people as the problem.

I do however want to link to this tweeter-twiter-thingee from deGrasse-Tyson:

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.

On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…

500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun

Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
