The 1918 throwback uniforms may have been ugly, but they don't hold a candle to the 8th inning of tonight's game. Instead of ranting and raving, here's a passive-aggressive Top Ten list:
Top Ten Red Sox Excuses for 8th Inning Debacle
10. Now that we've gotten over .500, we have a new fear: first place!
9. That winning thing was getting really old.
8. Those really were sanitation workers on the field that inning.
7. We kinda felt sorry for those guys, having not won a World Series in like, a thousand years or something
6. Come on, it's not often you see a guy literally turn into a pumpkin on the mound. It's hard to throw strikes when you're a gourd with no arms.
5. Them Cubbies fans spiked our Red Bull with NyQuil.
4. They also replaced our gloves with oven mitts
3. Don't you know there's no trying in baseball?
2. Those blank uniforms were giving us another identity crisis.
1. It's the rapture, man! The baseball gods decided to save the Cubs instead of us, cuz, you know, at least they had their name on their uniforms.
On a serious note, I hope Marlon Byrd, who was beaned in the face by Aceves in the 2nd inning, is not seriously injured. I didn't see it happen, but he was taken to the hospital for observation.
