Perchance To Dream

Rookie pitcher Sean Burke has pretty much come out of nowhere to give the Sad Sox three straight quality starts good for a 2-0 record and 1.42 ERA over nineteen innings. Yesterday, the 24-year old righty threw five shutout innings in the rain in Detroit. Sox 4 Tigers 0. More, please. Bryan Ramos hit his third homerun of the season, Andrew Benintendi his twentieth; again, more, please. Heck, Andrew Vaughn even reached 70 RBIs on the season. I’m tempted to say good baseball is contagious, what with four wins in five games. But that would mean bad baseball’s contagious, too, and it is. I mean, 121 losses in 161 games sure looks like proof of that.
