I listened to the second half of today's game driving home from Ann Arbor, Michigan. First of all, I am delighted to hear that Mágglio Ordóńez finally signed that contract extension. What's this I hear about Bob Howry also signing an extension. He is turning into mush!
As for today's loss, why did Jerry Manuel let Alan Embree pitch? That is why we lost the game, I think. Nomar did his part, for sure, but it was Manuel's use of the poor Embree that got Nomar to the plate. We could have taken two of three in Boston, and it would have put us in great position coming into a series of games against cupcakes like Kansas City and Tampa Bay.
