The game was tied 2-2 after eight innings and they brought Jansen in in the ninth. He did not have a great outing, giving up singles to the first two batters he faced before getting the third batter out.
The fourth batter, however, popped a double, driving in the baserunners. That made the score 4-2 in favor of the Rays.
The Red Sox came up and the best they could do was Devers got hit by a pitch and Yoshida walked. Everyone else hit into an out and the game ended with the loss.
First pitch of todays game was a 1:30 and Houck was on the mound. While he managed to pitch through five innings, when he finished his stint, the Rays were up 4-2.
In the sixth inning, the Rays scored two more runs on a comedy of errors that caused me to yell at my television loud enough so my wife, who was sitting two rooms away using her earbuds to watch a Netflix show, yelled back asking if I was okay.
Yes, I was okay but I was a bit pissed. This is supposed to be a major league baseball team and I've had rec league teams with more self-control and athleticism than what the Red Sox showed in the sixth inning.
So anyways, the Red Sox lost todays game 6-2.
They need to get their collective shit together and win tomorrow's game in order to split the four-game series and stay above .500.
So I've been reading up on the problem that Bud Light has with it's advertising campaign and I'm fascinated by what I've discovered.
Seems that there are several huge investment firms that are huge because they control the investments of large municiple pension funds. The firms have a lot of power over the companies that they invest in simply because they have so much money.
For instance, if an investment manager from JoeBlowInvestmentFirm says to the VP of marketing for the LargeJuiceCompany, "You know that $6.6 billion we invested in your company? Well, we think you should start making an orange juice/grape juice cocktail drink because my kid really likes it" you can bet that the first words out of the VP's mouth are going to be, "Um, sure. We'll give it a try".
Well, that's what happened. You see, it seems that a bunch of cutting-edge, bleeding-heart, socially-correct politicians told the investment firms, "You know all that money we give you to invest? Well we want to invest in companies that are as bleeding-heart, socially-correct as we are." So they did. The investment firms told all the companies they invest in to be jump on the social-justice bandwagon and they did.
What you get when politicians try to meddle in investments is investments that fail. Not only is Anheuser-Busch InBev losing money because they focused on social issues instead of business, all the pension holders (workers) are losing money because their investments are dropping like a stone.
Bud Light is a cheap beer consumed by old fat guys in dive bars, it's not what socially-correct hipsters are drinking. They did well when they were running their Real Men of Genius ad campaign. They should have just stuck with that.
I've decided that today, a Sunday, is actually a Taco Tuesday.
While we do those, you can do these:
- I'm telling ya man, don't fly commercial.
- Let me be the first to say that this is kinda big news.
- It's only a matter of time before they make it an Olympic sport.
- Huh. I wonder why he removed his shirt?
- New York is trying to free the weed but they aren't having much success.
