Sox: 3 Angels: 6
With this loss, the Sox are officially in the AL East cellar. Yes, it's only four games into their season and standings at this time of year are as meaningless as a Spring Training game, but can we PLEASE score some more runs here? Wake had a mixed-bag kind of outing, but only allowed three runs. Yet, he continues to be the victim of crappy run support. Masterson, who is usually pretty sharp and can produce double-play balls on cue, was apparently possessed by his evil embedded Yankee (or embedded Angel) twin who goes by the handle of "Disasterson" and allowed the Halos to double the score.
Now for our MIA bats. Jake, though he did hit into a double play, went 2 for 3, snagged a bag, and advanced to third on an errant throw. Pedey roped a double in the 8th and snagged a bag of his own, but his bat was silent earlier on. Kottaras, making his first major league start behind the plate managed a single, as did Mikey. Youk has cooled down a bit, but he went 1 for 3. The 0-fer club consists of Big Papi, J-Bay, J.D. and Lowrie, who is 1 for the season so far. Papi does deserve some credit for a sac fly, however. Oh, young Lowrie, where hast thy bat gone? When you make us wonder how long it will be before Lugo's back, something's just not right.
It was nice to see the tributes to Nick Adenhart in Angel Stadium, including the "34" on the mound and his jersey in the dugout. This had to be a very hard game for the Angels to play, the first one played since the tragedy and they got a win for the kid. Frustrating for the Sox to lose another one, but an uplifting win for the Angels.
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!
