I was lucky to get a pair of tickets to the Yanks - Sox game last night. As I headed down to the southside with my friend Amy, I was honestly as excited about this game as any I had been to in a long time. It was going to be my first time seeing Phil Hughes and potentially Joba in person.
I wanted Hughes to do well so badly, and for two innings, he did. And then, the rains came, and when they finally took the tarp off the field, Ross Ohlendorf was on the mound. So I got to see 2 encouraging innings from Hughes, and then nothing.
Well not exactly, other things I got to see was the bullpen getting roughed up, some nice baserunning by Giambi, and Joba getting touched up by the Sox.
All in all, a disappointing evening, but what’s that saying? “Even bad sex is pretty good.” I think the same holds true for a trip to the ballpark.
