What $143M Will Get You: Red Sox 11, Indians 2
One of these days, Manny and Ortiz are going to fall apart. Unfortunately, if the last few games are any indication, it won't much matter. Dustin Pedroia, 3-for-5 with 5 RBIs? Are you kidding me? Kevin Youkilis, also 3-for-5, and both with a home run?
And then there's Josh Beckett, who was caught warming up in the pen but never got called on.
They'll be blabbing for a while in Cleveland about the lost opportunity in the seventh: Kenny Lofton reached on a routine pop that the wind blew just out of the reach of Pedroia. But then, it just didn't matter, as the third base coach held up Lofton inexplicably. Boston then turned it into a laugher in the eighth with six more runs that buzzed by like an inexorable steamroller. That's what I figure they'll do to the Rockies, so we've probably got four games left of baseball.
One of these days, the Angels might stand a chance against these guys, but I just don't know if it's going to be in my lifetime.
Congratulations (I guess) to the team that's only $50M or so shy of becoming an Evil Empire of their own.
