What counts is not the total of five runs surrendered with two outs to the Royals that ultimately spelled the difference between winning 6-2 and losing 7-6.<\/p>\n
What matters is not new acquisition Mike Myers sporting an ERA with the Sox of 18.00, a number only slightly better than the combined ERAs (18.31) of Dewon Day (11.25) and Gavin Floyd (7.06).<\/p>\n
What matters is not Jermaine Dye going 5-for-20 since signing that contract extension.<\/p>\n
What matters is not Jose Contreras moving into second place for most hit batsmen in baseball (13) and claiming sole possession of first in losses (16).<\/p>\n
What matters is not that the Good Guys are now only an entirely plausible 6-30 run away from the century mark.<\/p>\n
What matters is not the rejoicing in Kansas City, knowing that they now are no longer the worst team in the Central.<\/p>\n
What matters is not that tickets for today’s game were going for 25 cents on StubHub.<\/p>\n
What matters is the Sox inching one step closer to October 1st, the day this whole wretched season will finally be over.<\/p>\n
Awful. Just awful.<\/p>\n
