Tribe Tattoos & Traumitizes our Troubled Team
The Red Sox face elimination Friday in a do or die game in which two aces will face off again, Becket and Sabathitia.
The indians took a commanding 3 to 1 lead in the series.
It all unraveled in the 5th last night, a dropped pop foul, a mis-played shot up the middle, in a game of inches these two flukes sent Tim Wakefield to an early shower despite the fact he had pitched well and had been in command. Dorchester's own Manny Delcarmen came in in relief and served up a juicy fastball to shortstop Johnny Peralta that ended up in the right rield stands for a 3 run homer. That was all she wrote.
The Sox bats, except for Papi & Mannny for the most part, have been useless. The big lugs can't win it all by themselves.
Hang down your head Delarmen
A Sox win on Friday will keep their hopes alive and bring the series back to Boston.
