Comments

I kept score as I listened to the game on the radio. If you go by earned runs, the game ends in a tie! Okay. I'm grasping at straws. I admit it. That 8th inning was just pitiful. I can't remember the last time I saw a team score 7 unearned runs in one inning. I have to say I'm not sorry to have missed seeing this one, especially since two batters were intentionally walked and they both ended up scoring. Yet again, the intentional walk fails to produce for Texas.

And so...
