They blew our doors off
âCause sometimes itâs pain;
Itâs always crazy like that.
As we watched from our couches,
We had hope in the upside;
It may continue.
We saw as Woods Richardson threw;
Strong start, a Martin jack,
But it crashed amid a muddled third,
And we hit the sack.
First Luke erred, then Story hit one over the wall
While Early made our bats unravel.
Well, the offense wasnât scoring
While Boston racked up hits.
This was a game many find boring,
Muted and out of our wits.
These losing games are sore just past a streak;
But wins will return as soon as this week,
We wonât wait a week.
Another zillion every inning,
Scoreboard keeps going up
And lighting much to often.
Sim and Banda both got rocked,
While the lineup couldnât pop off;
Kreidler homered, but win? No,
And we clumsily walk to the car.
âCause theyâre losing,
Guess I should name a Comment of the Game:
Letâs go with Joelâs beg for recs,*
Letâs go with passing him blame.**
These losing games are very sore, theyâre very sore,
Theyâre scarily very sore.
But wins will return; weâll pick up some more
And once again score.
They blew our doors off
âCause sometimes itâs pain;
Itâs always crazy like that.
*honorable mention to Uncle Lincoln and this understanding of execution methods
**alternately, blame me for misspelling Ryan Kreidlerâs name in the lineup graphic
The final score was Red Sox 9, Twins 5.
Key contributions came from Luke and Story for the Red Sox, with Story hitting a home run.
This loss adds to the Twins' recent struggles and may affect their momentum as they aim to bounce back in upcoming games.
