blown
grades.  This atrocity is one such game.  Entirely too much Matt Garz
a.
(Though every time I hear his name I want to call him "Joey"  Garza,
after the stone cold killer in one of Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove"
books. He does slay the Sox almost every chance he gets after all.  
And JFTR, with the score being what it was and the way Garza pitched
this doesn't count as a come back jinx by me.

You are right Don, I don't blame you LOL, it happens in a long season,
some games are not retrievible, it happens. We can go get them next
time!


I think I'd rather lose 13-0 than like the game in Cleveland. It's still
just one loss and you don't think "what if?" afterwards. But let's not
make a habit of it!
