The photo is such a cliche. Its on ESPN.com and Yahoo every time for nearly every game. The pitcher walking back to the mound with his head down while an out of focus figure trots around the bases. It's so great though.
What the hell was Rogers doing on the mound? Why did some "impartial" arbitrator force MLB to reinstate him? How come the Rangers, who are already out of the race, didn't impose their own suspension for the remaining 7 games? It wound out that it was a good thing as Rogers started strong but wore down.
The Red Sox scored 35 runs in the series, which is the good news. The bad news is that they allowed 18. You can give up 6 runs a game if you're scoring more than 11, but I doubt that we will be able to put up such impressive numbers when Chicago comes to town.
The Man of the Game is Manny Ramirez who went 2 for 3 with a homer, a pair of walks, 3 RBI, and 3 Runs scored. No-one's noticed, but he's gotten his average up to .288. Could he possibly the American League MVP?
The Yankees, meanwhile, are back into a struggling phase. They have been a very streaky team this year. We're now 5.5 up on them with 49 games to go. They also found out that Pavano is out for at least 6 more weeks. This picture pretty much sums up their series with Chicago and will also silence anyone on any other blog saying that Yankee fans are smarter than Red Sox fans:
Should John Kerry be embrassed that Barbara Bush threw just as far as he did?
She probably knows a few of the player's names too.
I wonder if John Kerry knows that Barbara Bush's son is a lying, treasonous, son-of-a-bitch.
