Quote of the day
"We're the team that nobody talks about." -- Atlanta Hawks guard Jamal Crawford, after a second round opening win against the Bulls in Chicago Daily blurb
When I first saw that the Red Sox beat Jered Weaver 9-5, it sounded like the wheels might have come off the Weaver train. But the box score shows that only three runs were scored off of Weaver, who left after only six innings, down 3-2. Somehow, he managed to throw 118 pitches by that point. The Angel bullpen then came in to start the 7th inning and promptly imploded. Tough loss last night for Madison Bumgarner, who gave up no earned runs in 7 IP, but surrendered a pair of unearned runs in what should have been a 1-2-3 seventh. He was outdueled by Tom Gorzelanny, who worked 8 scoreless innings. The final score was 2-0, both teams combined for only 7 hits and 2 walks, and the game was over in 2 hours and 2 minutes. Bumgarner was of those trendy sleeper picks in fantasy drafts this year, but is now 0-5, although he’s only given up one earned run in his last 13 IP. Maybe this is the time to buy low? |
