Bit of a downward slide.

I thought Winckowski pitched pretty well last night but the infield made two errors that cost them two runs. The hitters hit the ball hard but right into the gloves of the Cubs outfield.

In the end, the Red Sox lost 3-1.

As for today, the Cubs took a one run lead in the first inning but the Red Sox answered with two runs in the fourth. The Cubs came back with another run in the eighth to tie the game and force it into extra innings.

In the top of the eleventh inning, with two outs and two men on base, Story hit a bloop that should have been an out but the Cubs pitcher had some kind of seizure and threw the ball so far over the first baseman's head that not only was Story safe at first, it allowed two runs to score, giving the Red Sox a 4-2 lead.

In the bottom of the eleventh, Diekman (who I'm convinced was one of the brothers on Duck Dynasty) managed to hold off the Cubs and win the game 4-2.

Now it's back to Boston to start a fourteen game stretch that is probably the toughest one they'll face this season.


Busy day doing, to be honest with you, nothing much at all. Regardless of why I was busy, I didn't spend a lot of time surfing the interwebs.

The few things I did find are here:
