Oh SURE. Boomer pitches two shut-out games in a row and everyone is suddenly warming up to him. He hurts his foot and just as suddenly he's the worst deal made over the offseason. The only possible conclusion is that hurting yourself makes you a bad pitcher. WTF.
And I'm not all that surprised he wasn't doing too well even before the injury. He's said that in his first two starts, he was trying too hard to impress. I'm thinking something similar happened last night - after all, there's no pressure whatsoever in facing a team that you just shut out for eight innings in your last start. That's stupid timing, and I bet anything he was all keyed up and overstimulated last night.
In that vein, I don't have high expectations for Clement tonight, either, because it's the very same situation for him. And I'm sure the Orioles will be every bit as aggressive tonight as they were last night.
On a less doomsaying note, I watched SportsDesk this morning while I was getting ready for work, and they were obliging enough to show a clip of the Tigers/Twins brawl. Then when I was flipping through the Boston Herald, I was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely picture of angry!Pudge. (This is how you can tell it was a slow night in the AL.) So, I'm fairly satisfied in that department.
Eep, the Red Sox/Tigers series starts Monday. So, starting Monday and lasting through Thursday, I will be a CRAZY PERSON. No, I mean even more so. I'm all excited to watch the Tigers, but I'm not so much pleased about the part where one of my teams has to lose. On the other hand, one of my teams has to win. Yeah. I'll try to go with that perspective.
