3:15 Later... Sox Lose to the JV Squad
I can't believe a mostly scoreless game goes so long! I'm sure Justin Verlander is thrilled with Jose Valverde's "win" today. Oh well. Wasted effort by Lester. Opening Day is often a bit of a game of Russian Roulette. Pitchers will be great and then it's a matter of just catching the reliever who is not on his game yet. Today is was Valverde, Melancon, and Aceves. It happens. No reason to panic but it's a wasted opportunity. If you're going against Verlander, do you think Bobby V was tempted to just start the rotation with your #5? Figure you'll lose the first one and have an advantage for the next two? Oh well.
There are currently two 1-0 games in the books and another one is 1-0 Cubs and Kerry Wood is possibly giving it up while Bill Murray cracks wise. Bases loaded, full count, two outs... the unforgivable. Tie game. Who's managing the Cubs these days anyway? Why is Wood allowed to walk 3 guys in one inning in a 1-run game?
