Sox 3 Tigers 8: Pena-ta
So: I tune in to watch Jeremi Gonzalez turn in a decent effort, and then next inning up, I watch Carlos Pena launch one against the immortal Blaine Neal. Which leads me to conclude: I am not going to watch the Sox games as I get ready for work. At least for now. Seems to jinx things.
Time for my questions:
What was with all the triples today? Freaky.
What was with Neal being out there? I suppose when your starter only goes 5 (not blaming J-Gon, that was a very credible debut) that's what happens, you need arms for the 6th and 7th, and it's a grab bag of Neal, Mantei, and Embree. But boy, Blaine's making me wish Dave McCarty wasn't DFA'd.
Why do the Sox keep leaving men on base? Very frustrating.

The triples? Are because the right center gap in Comerica Park is the size of the Sahara. Comerica is a huge ballpark, and that right center gap is just ridiculous. It's not anything special or weird; it's just the size of the ballpark.
I know about Comerica's gap, but even then I can't remember seeing a Tigers game that had that many triples in just one game...
