Did Nardi blame Ritchie for the big inning?

[Viva Magglio]

During the game, I was doing the old "Sox pBp >> " in the chat room. I had the television on mute so that I could hear Rooney & Famer. Meanwhile, Fox Sports miked Nardi Contreras for the game. The inning or so following the big debalce, Fox aired comments made by Nardi in the dugout. In the chat room, I asked what Nardi was saying because I obvioulsy could not hear. Someone in the chat said he was blaming Todd Ritchie for giving up those eight unearned runs. Is this true?

I didn't hear it, but if he did then he's an ass. That homer that Thome hit was a good pitch, Thome just beat him.

Nardi was saying that Ritchie wasn't getting his slider over, but his curveball was staying low. I guess you could say he was blaming him for the inning

No you blame it on Nardi, he never should have come out of the dugout. He should have walked out the back door or something.
