Unequal Opportunity: White Sox 5, Astros 3
Really, a very limp game for the Astros, who simply failed to make Contreras pay for his mistakes. Hitting two batters in the top of the seventh -- neither starter in tonight's game was particularly effective -- Contreras worked his way out of the jam with no damage. Willy Tavares doubled to lead off the eighth -- and the Astros couldn't get him home. An inability to get runners home with men in scoring position has apparently been a problem for the Astros all year, and tonight was no exception.
Clemens came out after two, fulfilling my prediction of trouble for the aging ace if the weather got cold -- which it was, 53 F at game time and getting colder as the night went on.
As an Angels fan, I have to admit pure disgust watching Bobby Jenks record the final outs of the game while throwing 100+ on about five straight pitches. Next year's bullpen is going to be a trainwreck for the Angels, and one reason why is because Bobby Jenks is in a White Sox uniform.
Update: ... but it could be worse. I could be, say, George Steinbrenner.
Comments:
About Clemens -- the broadcasters pointed out that it's sore hams. If so, then he would have had problems even in warm weather conditions.
Who is this Bobby Jenks? How the #$@#%# could we give up on a guy who seems to DIAL the fastball at 100? Wow.
Some wonderful fielding by both teams. Can't imagine the Astros feeling good about blowing opportunity after opportunity to score.
