ahhh, Fenway...

How many home games can the Red Sox have in a row? Since moving here there's been a home game every night. Not that I mind much, it's just getting a bit old having to take detours to get to BBW. Besides, it's not like they're winning any games. Fans were more interested in watching a bird hop around for 4 hours than seeing their team get clobbered. Again.

The Sox looked as wounded as the black bird that briefly took a perch on second base in the eighth inning before hopping its way around the premises. Evidently, the bird could not fly, and neither could the Sox, who managed just one run -- Loretta's first homer in 110 at-bats -- in eight innings against Indians lefthander C.C. Sabathia, the two-time All-Star who had lost his previous three starts but tamed the Sox, who were 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position.
