► Hero - Hawpe - his three run home run sealed the deal
► Goat - Schilling - close second would be the freaking defense who threw the ball around in the first two innings like they were playing t-ball. My nephews little league team plays better defense fer chrissakes!

Idle thoughts!

Again this team decided to play like there was no consequences for a loss. Well boys, I hate to tell you this, but you see there is a team south of you who is playing for their playoff lives and they are coming through in the clutch. The question is are you going to be a championship team or are you going to go down as bigger chokers than the '78 Red Sox? The choice is yours, but I would suggest you decide quickly.

A terrible game from the first batter till the end. Lugo again made an error in the first and the runner would come around to score. Curt did a good job just to keep it at one run after that throw into the dug out, but you really don't want Curt to be throwing that many pitches in the first inning.

The second didn't go much better as the first two batters reached on seeing eye double and single down the third base line. Again it looked like the damage might be limited but an error by Lowell made sure that two runs would score. Down three to nothing and Schilling has thrown 50+ pitches in two innings. Disaster was around the corner.

Lowell, made up for his error with a lead off Home Run in the bottom of the second and the Sox scratched out another run in the third but Hawpe's home run in the fifth sealed the deal. Snyder and Piniero didn't help the cause by stinking up the joint either.

The Sox have a losing record on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays combined. You can't be losing games three of the seven days of the week if you expect to win the division and right now, I do not expecet them to win the division.

Freaking Sox.
