Feel bad that Sale was denied a W but bottom line is winning the game.

Sale continues to deliver, the wins will come.  This should have been an easy win as most games should be when he takes the mound.  But in the end it's a W.

BTW, I have that Betts struck out twice but I was pretty happy he did strike out last night just so O'Brien would stop talking about it every freaking time he came up.  I was worried that we were going to hear "Mookie has struck out only once since..." so him striking out a few times will kill that.  I really find O'Brien tough to listen too.  There was something the other night. Jerry mentioned that when he was in the league guys lefties never through a changeup to lefties.  O'Brien never asked the question I'm sure people wanted to know, "Why?"  I find that he gets his talking points and picks up some baseball lingo for the day and he spits it out awkwardly and often.

Extra inning win on the road===excellent.  One run for Sale===pathetic.  I think maybe Farrell needs to find some hitters who don't shit the bedwhen  their aces pitches for them.  The lack of support for Chris has been disheartening.  Well we won, though, and that's what counts.

Yup.  Sale is going to make MLB history this season.  The only starter who'll log in 200+ innings, finish 1st in ERA, 1st in strikeouts, and have 0 wins to show for it.  And he'll still win the Cy Young  8)

No run support at all....
