Swept out of the Emerald City
The Red Sox lost once again yesterday, capping off their most hapless weekend of baseball yet in 2006. Six runs on 14 hits in three days of baseaball. The self-entitlement crowd will kick and scream and bitch and talk about how the Sox are
“ruinin’ his/her summah” but take a look at who they had this weekend. Better yet, take a look at who they did not have. Manny Ramirez, Wily Mo Pena and Trot Nixon all missed time in the outfield, Alex Gonzalez and Jason Varitek in the infield. The Sox went it without Matt Clement and Tim Wakefield in the rotation. You look at those names, and that’s a pretty decent foundation with which to start a team. Removing them from any one team unsurprisingly has had a decimating effect.

Reasons not to despair too much.

From my time living in Philly, which obviously included the Wilmington Blue Rocks, Corsaletti’s no cure for despair. There are plenty of other good prospects we have, but I didn’t see anyone too impressive down there.
Rubble, however, is the best mascot ever.
