Hey markj, it wasn't supposed to rain last night either but we still got hit with a storm.  The way the team has been playing (not) it's a wonder that incoming hurricane doesn't bury Boston in a deluge of acid rain.  How pathetic can we be?

[longgame]

Is Arroyo hurt again?  Kike at 2B again.  At least Refsnyder is in CF instead of Fatmonte.  Of course Refsnyder, who'd be a great 4th OF is probably already penciled in by Bloom.  Hopefully Bloom also realizes that there's a reason why Tommy Pham doesn't last with a team for more than a few months at a time.  But I have no hope he'll be able to fix this mess. 

[longgame]

Wacha gives up 2 triples.  Sox threaten and don’t score.  And for some reason they did a review of a ball that landed 50 feet to the right and short of Pesky Pole.

[markj]

Tuned in just in time to see Wacha give up a dinger.

[markj]

Aaaaannndddd another dinger. Wacha is having a very bad night. sigh

[Sea Dog 23]

The Sox are near the end of the line.  Didnt think I'd see it this year, but now they have no reliable pitchers that are healthy enough to go out there and hold a lead.

[markj]

Bases juiced, no outs. Need to make some hay here.

[markj]

Well, a HBP run is one way to make hay. This O's pitcher has lost it.

[markj]

Another gift run. Too bad the Sox can't actually earn a run with a hit or something along those lines. Relying on the charity of opposing pitchers is not a good offensive strategy.

[markj]

Sorry assed MLB.TV went to a commercial and never came back, so I missed some of the scoring. Nice to see the Sox finally take advantage, though.

[markj]

So 3 of the 6 runs scored that inning were gift runs.

[markj]

Wacha is still giving up dingers. Is Cora sleeping? Or maybe he has less faith in the BP than we do.

[markj]

And another triple. Now 8-5. Still not outs and a man on 3rd. This game will be tied up again before Cora does anything.

[markj]

No lead is safe with this crew.
