Lost Chances, Cost Sox — Yankees Continue To Roll
Perhaps I’m a bit preoccupied with the Yankees and their seemingly endless winning streak, but I hate seeing so many runners left on base in what otherwise was a game we should have won. Millar gets a much needed day off, and he’s definitely one of the better hitters with runners on, the team can’t get the runners in.
Arroyo had 1 bad inning, but this team needs to, and should, score many more runs than just 4 - especially when you leave more men on base than your total hits in the game (13-12). I know we play much better at home, unfortunately half the season is spent on the road and things have not looked so chipper thus far.
All I’m going to say, because I’m a bit dissappointed right now, Arroyo seems to be the interim ace, Youkilis is still the Greek God of Walks, and much needed Millar was, well, much needed

This is always bewildering to me. I watch probably 100 full games and listen to 20 or so. West coast games are tough on the weekdays but I get a couple of innings in. My watching average with the bases loaded have got to be .197! I think I jinx the team. Sometimes I don’t watch bases loaded situations. When Mirabelli hit his GS I was watching something else. Then I see Manny strike out the other day. NESN always reports that mostly the whole lineup hits between .325 and .450 when bases are loaded.
So from now on I will do my part as a faithful and superstitious member of the nation and not watch when the bags a chucked.

Ya, I guess I should watch more as they usually seem to do fairly well when I’m watching
Although last night was a different story, and I was shocked to see both Manny and Varitek go down by way of K.
