Daniel Cabrera Is Almost Unhittable
Good grief. The Red Sox are up 4-0 after the top of the first. And they left the bases loaded. All this with only one hit in the inning. And that didn’t even leave the infield.
Here’s how: bunt single, walk, walk, walk, strike out, walk, walk, sac fly (foul), walk, pop out (foul). Ouch.
In somewhat related news, ESPN’s new MLB Gamecast is pretty. Really pretty.
Update: Somehow, the O’s brought Cabrera back out to start the second. He didn’t last long. His line for the day: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 7 BB, 47.25 ERA.
Update: What is going on tonight? I just pulled up the ESPN Gamecast so I could show it to my wife. We started watching Atlanta at the Giants in the bottom of the seventh, and it’s been even crazier than Boston’s first inning: walk, walk, walk (Bobby Cox ejected?), single, walk, hit batter, walk, single, two throwing errors, ground out to first, ground out to second, walk, fielder’s choice.
Eight runs on only two hits. Damn. Makes Daniel Cabrera look like Bob Gibson.

Baseball is currently saddening me...The Twins are 1-5 through the first six. Doesn’t look to get better with the A’s and Yanks coming to town this week. We could realistically be 2-10 by week’s end. Boo. I don’t think they’re quite this bad. I hope not...sniffle.

Don’t look now, but your Twins have won 5 in a row against the aforementioned A’s and Yankees. And they’re even over .500. Maybe that will put an end to all of those columns about how long it will be until the Twins are going to start shopping Torii around.
