Well, at least the Yankees lost, too, 4-3, with Randy Johnson starting.

Wow, that sucked. Red Sox game: Suck to the tune of 7-1. Tigers game: Double suck, even though 5-3 is a less embarrassing score. Jeremy Bonderman just broke my poor heart.

First, he made this really terrible, girly flip to first that Dmitri couldn't handle and let D-Lowe on, and he did the Hat Removal of Wow I Feel Stupid. And then you could tell it threw him all off, because he started throwing a billion balls and then when he gave up a three-run homer (to Jeff Kent, by the way, an ex-Astro), he just screamed. I mean just stood there on the mound and screamed. Then after he got out of that inning, they showed him talking to Tram and chucking his drink (Bondo's, not Tram's), then there was a kind of cute shot of him sitting there pissed and Rondell going over to give him a little pat. Man, I just felt so bad watching it all. I want to give him a hug the worst way.

Bah.

To be fair, though, Derek Lowe had a great game and definitely earned the win. So good for him. Heh, as of tonight he and Teh Unit have the same record: 5-5.

Also, I think I changed my mind about the announcer, whoever it was. Once I got used to his grating voice, I noticed that he was saying actual interesting things and also saying way fewer moronic things than I am used to hearing. Plus, he was going on about Nook and his superspeed, and when Nook's hit was messed up by a fan touching the ball, the guy scolds the fan for "thinking he's more important than the game" and robbing us of "the chance to see Nook Logan run." Praising my boys earns you lots of points.

Oh dear, really? I didn't watch the game, I only saw the boxscore. Oh Bondo. That's so unlike him, usually he's very level-headed and works himself out of those jams. Wonder what set him off. Sigh.

Lucky you, it sucked to watch. I had his journal written practically before he was out of the game.

I think he has a big crush on Derek Lowe and wanted to impress him he was uncomfortable. I'm not sure how crazy he was about pitching in an NL stadium. (He was totally adorable his first at-bat, he had the I Am Such A Dork Face on.) He did great at first; I really do think it was that stupid error that jarred him just enough to fuck up his concentration. It was stupid too, I was sitting there going, "What the hell is this, Bondo?" even as he was running halfway to first and then limp-wristedly flipping to Dmitri. He looked really upset after, so you know it got to him.

But you're right, we've seen him get into jams and then get out of them and look just as cool as can be while he does it. We've got to remember, though, he's just a kid. He's only a few months older than I am. He's just not gonna be calm and collected all the time. *pets him*
