Wright Against Houston, There, Aug 6, 2013

[Brahmsian]

We can still win this series, despite last night's undesirable result.

Our starter tonight is 28 year old Steven Wright, making his 1st career MLB start.
We hope he will be the 2nd rookie in as many games to pitch well, don't we?

7 walks in 12 career innings pitched does not look promising, but it is a small sample.

His opposing pitcher is even younger, but will be making his 58th career start.
378 hits allowed in 320 2/3 career innings, 112 in 95 1/3 this season.

It would appear that the "Over" would be a better vCash bet than the "Under" doesn't it?

GO RED SOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

We're overdue to end the string of zeros on our side of the scoreboard. WAY overdue!

 

[Brahmsian]

Our starter is inexperienced AND a knuckleballer?

Not confidence inspiring, but I'll still pull for him. as long as he's on our staff.

At least he's not trying to be a closer. That's NOT a job for a knckleballer!

 

[Brahmsian]

Any other Red Sox fans going to post here tonight?

 

[Brahmsian]

Don't give this lead back, Red Sox!

 

[Brahmsian]

On a whimsical note, does anyone ever call Houston's catcher "Fidel" Castro? Or their manager "Cole" Porter?

 

[Brahmsian]

We averted a sweep and have a so;id shot at gaining a game on Tampa Bay,
who are trailing Arizona 6-1 in the 9th.

Nice going, Sox!
