Angels 7, BoSox 10
Lackey is a bit of an enigma, as he’'s put in several of the Angels’ best pitching performances of the season, but he’'s also a candidate to get blown off the mound in every start.
Is that prophetic, or what? Whoever said that must be some kind of genius!
Lackey was awful from the outset, allowing the Sox to get out to a four-run head start at the end of one. Like Rob says, the Angels were already done for at that point. Lackey finishes his disastrous August with a 7.44 ERA for the month. And Ortiz gets dropped to the bullpen?
Don't let the final score fool you- this was a good ol' fashioned beat-down. Amezaga (Amezaga?) made it respectable with a grand slam in the ninth, but this game was long gone by then. Glaus looked pretty good (2-4 with a screaming line-drive double), but that's about it as far as "good news".
Now let us never speak of this again...
