Red Sox Lose…Again!

But because the Angels beat the Rangers, they are in the playoffs.
“It doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you’re in,’’ said Dustin Pedroia…..
Anyone think he actually believes that?
By the way, has anyone else noticed that the Globe’s new Sox beat reporter, Amalie Benjamin, is just dreadful?
(Sorry, Amalie, but it’s true.)
They had a chance in the ninth, too. With Ellsbury on first, Pedroia drove a ball toward the bullpen in right-center that looked ticketed for some empty real estate, but it was caught…
“Ticketed for some empty real estate”?
Ugh.
And yet Benjamin’s coverage of the Sox is full of this kind of hackneyed over-writing….

Um, yes, I know she’s a woman. But is that a joke?
What I think is likely is that she has the job because she’s young-a 2004 college grad—and so the cash-strapped Globe doesn’t have to pay her much.
