Tied game, top of the eighth, one
out, single to left, Nicky Delmonico gets the ball in quickly to the minister
of fun at short, who proceeds to throw it away trying to catch the runner
rounding first base. Jose Abreu, the
rock upon which the 14-18 White Sox rest, retrieves the ball, only to throw it
into left field. The runner goes to
third and eventually scores. But, wait,
there’s more.
The Red Sox eventually loaded the
bases, which prompted the appearance of newly recalled reliever Caleb Frare,
who promptly walked in a run on four pitches, the fourth hitting the back wall
on the fly. Exit Frare, enter Juan
Minaya, also just recalled. On his
second offering, Minaya grooved one to Xander Bogaerts for a grand slam. After the game, Frare was returned to the
minors, to be joined by centerfielder Adam Engel. So much for Engel tapping into his “posterior
chain.”
This is all so pathetic it’s
funny. Send in the clowns. No, wait….
