I. I don't know. I just don't know. What a night.
We've covered the Red Sox. 12-8 loss, thanks to a combination of Keith Foulke and what I am assured was some shitty homeplate umpiring. I'm still developing my ability to call pitches, and I'm sure I've been impeded by crappy umpiring more than once.
On to the Tigers. Nate Robertson kicked some ass, delivered nine K's, Chris Spurling and Kyle Farnsworth had a 1-2-3 inning apiece, and that still wasn't enough. Final score: 2-1 White Sox. Jesus. And to think I've been telling people recently how much better our offense has gotten. PROVE IT.
Oh god. Astros. I don't know if I can do this one.
Okay. After I recovered sufficiently from the Red Sox game to, like, move, I went out and had a smoke. First, I checked the score on the Astros game. Still 5-1 in the eighth. Awesome, I thought, at least one of my teams isn't sucking at life tonight.
I came back. Checked the score. 6-5 Rockies in the ninth wtf.
Here is the play-by-play for the bottom of the eighth.
C Qualls relieved R Clemens.
D Ardoin singled to center.
B Hawpe hit for D Cortes.
B Hawpe popped out to shortstop.
C Sullivan singled to left, D Ardoin to second.
J Franco relieved C Qualls.
L Gonzalez hit for A Miles.
L Gonzalez grounded into fielder's choice to third, C Sullivan out at second, D Ardoin to third.
T Helton singled to right, D Ardoin scored, L Gonzalez to second.
Nice work so far by our relievers, yeah? BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.
R Springer relieved J Franco.
P Wilson walked, L Gonzalez to third, T Helton to second.
G Atkins homered to left center, L Gonzalez, T Helton and P Wilson scored.
J Piedra popped out to shortstop
YES THAT'S RIGHT. The guy who closed the game for the Astros ALSO gave up a GAME WINNING GRAND SLAM. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN TWICE IN ONE NIGHT? Man, if Russ Springer mysteriously drops dead, I recommend checking his Gatorade bottle for cyanide and Rogers Clemens's fingerprints.
Final score: 6-5.
I suppose I should be happy that Farnsworth, who closed for the Tigers, managed not to give up a grand slam. That is a pretty fuckin' sad thing to be happy about.
Oh, and the stupid Yankees lost 5-4, and I can't even enjoy THAT because it means that the Orioles shrank our lead to 1.5 games. Fucking Yankees can't even lose right.
