The eventual winning run in
last night's 3-2 loss at
The Concrete Bunker On 161st Street came thanks to
Bud Selig's brand spanking new
Instant Replay System. An inning-ending double-play resulted in a instant replay reversal and a extra run for
The Bronx Embalmers. We are now interpreting things like
whether the ball was far enough into the glove of a fielder to justify an out call. This is preposterous. Can you say Pandora? While last night's call was egregious enough, manager
John Farrell got tossed over frustration with the whole process—and particularly the Saturday missed tag call that MLB
admitted they blew. The game itself was about as wacky as can be—with
Felix Doubront pitching just bad enough to lose and the Red Sox continuing to leave men on base in key situations (8 last night).
Mike Napoli [White House pronunciation: NA-POLE-EEE] went yard again, but the Red Sox still look feeble—and may be about to lose
Dustin Pedroia for a
long time.
