The Red Sox lapsed into a defensive coma last night, committing sloppy errors and near-errors to
hand the Evil Ones a 5-1 victory. It was the fourth inning that was the most egregious—an endless frame with
Pinstriped Posers "conga-lining" around the bases like a bad
Bugs Bunny cartoon. Of course,
The Centaur played his ignominious part—starting the scoring with a towering HR into the Monster Seats in the first inning. The only highlights for Boston were a searing
Mookie Betts HR (his 10th, a solo shot) and the emergency pitching performance of
Robby Ross, Jr. after starter
Clay Buchholz injured his right elbow. That's right, sports fan, Buchholz is
again injured in mid-season. Hopefully a Friday night MRI will prove no damage, but given his history, you just never know.
