FAILHAT Friday at the Fens

Brad Penny on the mound, Lugo at short, and the team sporting the "hanging sox" FAILHATs. Run for your lives!! Penny actually pitched pretty well until the 5th when the Rangers started a rally with one out. Elvis Andrus hit what could have been a double play ball to end the inning, to Lugo but the ball went under his glove allowing a run to score. The inning continued and Kinsler hit a 3-run homer. By the end of the 5th the Rangers had a 5 run lead and that would be all they would need with the way Millwood pitched.

The Red Sox offense had 7 hits but most of them came with 2 outs. Big Papi had the only RBI for the team with a single in the 8th. The Sox tried to rally in the 9th when the first two batters reached but the power of the FAILHATs was too much and the rally ended with three quick outs.

Red Sox Lose 5-1 BOX SCORE

Man I wish there was a way teams could just let players go who SUCK so badly! Incentive laden contracts have got to be the way to go, but what do I know...

Note to self- Must start reading books about the economics of baseball.
