Dale Sveum got booed coming out to his position every half inning after that brainfart. Not only would he have scored, but Bernie Williams might have the worst arm in all of baseball (it's close, Johnny Damon is up there).
That single play cost us would could have been the game. If Millar scores, you have Mirabelli on 3rd with one out. Even if Bellhorn strikes out in that situation, you have one of the best hitters in all of baseball coming up in Damon. I absolutely could not believe what I was watching.
(The only Sveum call that was worse than the one today also involved Millar. I believe it was against the Angels last year. It was a groundball to leftfield, Millar hadn't even touched 3rd base yet, and Vlad had the ball in his hand already in the midst of his throw to home. Millar was sent, and was out by at least 5 feet at home) On the way home from the game I was listening to WEEI, and he was already getting crucified, it's gonna be ugly in the papers tomorrow.
Is there any park in the Majors (outside of Fenway) where Ortiz's blast isn't gone? He crushed that pitch from Johnson, and what do you know.. Bernie catches it right at the 420 mark in the triangle.
Renteria s*cks. I can't stand him anymore. He should NOT be batting in the 2 hole. Struck out 4 times today? Just horrendous.
A couple of positives from today's game. Jeremi Gonzalez did a hell of job holding the line for the middle part of the game. He gave us every opportunity to get back into it. And Schilling looked electric today, he made Matsui look foolish along with Giambi and Williams.
EDIT: There was a pretty good amount of Yankee fans there. There were about 3 fights in 3 sections around my seats. (1 of which was between 2 women :eek: ) One Yankee fan got beat down for talking s*it. Pretty funny stuff. The entire section was booing him as he was being escorted out of Fenway. Just another Red Sox - Yankee game. :D
