Another Loss

Dad --

Just a short note today.

I was worried when I saw Penny was scheduled to pitch yesterday. And it turns out I was right to worry. In the first inning he gave up five runs. Five! While our men in red were able to come back with three in their half of the first, we never caught up to those guys in green. That was due in large part to the fact that Penny gave up another two runs before Francona finally pulled him.

The final score was 8-6. Which means we're now 3.5 games out of first. We haven't been this far back since the beginning of May. But there's one more game and hopefully we can at least split the series.

On the positive side of things, I've now got Aidan watching the games with me.

All Right!! Aidean's officially a member of Red Sox nation! Is this a form of child abuse, given the way the taems' been playing since the break? Had we not thrown away the day before yesterday's game (2 errors in the 9th), we'd be 2.5 out going into today's game.
