Sox: 2 'Stros: 3
My TiVo messed up so I missed most of the game, but from what I read, it was another one-run loss in a game the Sox should have won. According to the team site's recap, Oki allowed another inherited runner to score, breaking a 2-all tie. I have a lot of respect for Tito and the Sox coaching staff and usually they have good reasons for the decisions they make, but this loss has me screaming "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!" They know Oki is struggling, especially with the inherited runners, and they trot him out in the eighth after Aardsma allows a single and then Mark Loretta strikes again with an RBI single. Inherited runner scores on Oki's watch. All too familiar story this season. The Sox lose the game, the series, and the first place berth in the A.L. East. The offense, which was the silver lining in last night's loss, went cold again and the Sox are in for some tough competition in the Rays and Yanks this week. They're going to have to play like the World-Championship caliber team we know they are, because this year, with the division tougher, coasting is not an option.
LET'S GO RED SOX!!! MAKE 'EM LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL RAYS AGAIN!
