Game 26: M's 2 Sox 0

This was a game of missed opportunities. Somehow the Sox get blanked by 8 innings of Doug Fister and Aaron Laffey. Seven hits (5 of which were doubles) and 6 walks equal 0 runs. Sox had the bases loaded twice, once with no outs, and scored no runs. Four innings the Sox got a runner all the way to third base and still managed to not score. No runs. All game.

Lackey looked pretty good overall going 6 innings and getting the loss. It was really nice to see Okajima and Wheeler pitch well after struggling some previously. Milton Bradley got thrown out in the third arguing about a play he wasn't involved in. The umpire missed the call but still, that's just stupid.

I'm most upset with Youkilis. Twice I telepathically told him I just wanted a home run for my birthday and twice he didn't deliver. Some friend. Thanks for nothing.
