Deja vu all over again: Sox pitching sux, Sox lose

Seattle 8, Sox 7

For the second straight night the loyal members of Red Sox nation stayed up til the wee hours of the morning and were treated to the same shit as the previous night: horrible Boston pitching leading to another ugly loss.

This time it was starter Kason Gabbard and Javier Lopez who allowed much of the damage, as the Boston batters mounted numerous comebacks, all to no avail because the Sox pitchers were giving up walks, hits and runs like they were flu shots.

The entire messy affair is just a collage of great plays, big hits and lousy pitches. Eric Hinske had a big homer, Lowell tied it once with a clutch 2-run triple, and Coco got on base three times and scored three runs. But for the second straight night a Boston reliever came out of the pen and allowed a soul-crushing homerun to Seattle, this time a 2-run shot by Richie Sexson that made the score 8-6, and that was enough runs to stave off another Sox comeback.

So for the second straight night I have no desire nor willpower to properly put this game to bed. After last night's game ended at 1:31 EST, tonight Manny whiffed to end it at 1:34 EST, and the feelings I was left with both times were exactly the same: sick & tired.

Full report tomorrow. Maybe after I sleep this one I'll realize it was all a dream that a Red Sox hurler walked in not one but two runs for the second consecutive game.

Couldn't have happened, right?

Good Morning!
