Aren’t new clothes supposed to be good luck or something? I guess the baseball gods don’t like the hanging Sox hats or the ugly blue uniforms, because there was no good luck here. No, in this game the Sox hit frozen ropes all over the place only to have them land in the gloves of the likes of Chone Figgins and Torii Hunter (does anybody on this team spell their name normally?). And what happens on the other side? The Angles clearly had Adenhart, otherwise known as Al the Boss Angel, adjusting 47-hoppers to go between the infielders and little bloopers to fall right in front of the outfielders. As we all learned from Angels in the Outfield, it’s hard to play when it’s eleven vs ten. It would be nice though if the Sox could finally win a game in Anaheim when it’s not October.

As an aside, for all the Sox fans out there in the New England area and get NESN for every game, I hope you now appreciate how good you have it with Jerry Remy. We all give him crap once in awhile, but I feel like the New Englanders give him more than the people who have the Extra Innings package and get stuck with whichever broadcast MLB feels like giving us. So every time you want to complain about Remy just think “I could have Rex Hudler instead.” And that should make you smile.
