Well, as previously noted, the Sox were getting deeper into their latest losing streak, and it hit 8 in a row with the weekend sweep at the hands of the M's at the Fens. seems no matter what the Sox did to grab a lead or come from behind to tie and then take a lead, the Mariners went them one better. I think the one that hurt the most was Friday's loss to the guys from Seattle when the Sox, armed with a three zip lead into the 9th gave up five and the game, the M's getting to Koji wholesale. As I've previously noted here, I went elsewhere in Sox Nation history Friday night while this was going on. Went to see the local San Rafael minor league team, the Pacifics, featuring former Sox hurler Bill 'Spaceman' Lee. He was supposed to be retiring that night, but also got into the game as a PH, and grounded out. I seized the opportunity, went down to the dugout and got a selfie of he & I together. As we snapped the pic, he said make sure to tell all of RS Nation he's still rooting for the old team. Here's the pic. Enjoy!

Sorry, but it won't go in upright. Wonder if that's the effect of the two guys in the pic or the glass of beer.
