The Most Pulp Dome (AKA: Tropicana Field) |
For some reason, Major League Baseball has decided that two-game sets are all the rage.
Why, we have no idea. But, starting tonight, the Red Sox will barely unpack their bags for a quick two game series at the worst ballpark in baseball—
The Most Pulp Dome in Tampa. The games are important, however, since the Rays are just 5.5 games back of
The Carmine Hose in the AL East. Moreover,
The Bronx Embalmers (just 3 games back) are at
SkyDome (
never to be called
Rogers Centre) to take on the hapless Jays (who, ironically, are
not "hapless" tonight, with
J. A. Happ on the mound). Luckily, the rotation gives us
Chris Sale in the first game, but we draw
Rick 'Not So Pretty As He Used To Be' Porcello in the second game. After briefly lighting on Florida's West Coast, the Red Sox fly to
Baghdad-On-The Hudson to play three at
The Concrete Bunker On 161st Street—the most boring new stadium in all of baseball. Should be an interesting week!
