G81: Devil Rays 9, Red Sox 6

I. Am. Annoyed.

Watching the Sox drop their second straight game to the Devil Rays is one thing. To have also to listen to three hours of Dewayne "That 70s Hair" Staats and Joe Migraine is quite another.

Curt Schilling (3.54) / Casey Fossum (5.03), 4:15 PM

In two games against Fossum this year, Boston batters are hitting a collective .205.

Top 6...Fossum out, Harville in, Manny and Tek reach with 0 out, great chance to jump back in the game...so why doesn't Francona use the sac bunt with the suddenly struggling Lowell? It was a perfect situation to lay one down.

If not for Huff's over exuberance fielding the grounder up the line, the Rays could have turned a TP instead of just a force at 3rd. With runners on 1st and 2nd (instead of 2nd and 3rd), Nixon whiffs, but Kapler comes through with a bullet to left to plate a run (instead of two).

We exit the inning with but one run to show for it....thanks for playing, Tito.

A terrible ballgame in a terrible ballpark in front of terrible fans (that heckler guy) broadcast by terrible announcers.

What a fun way to spend a Tuesday evening...
