Pastor, I am resigned to the fact that they won’t make the playoffs.**
**unless Jon Lester has a miraculous turnaround

Not that we ever will know, but whatever the hell is going on between Lester’s ears is some crazy shit.

I hope they don’t make the playoffs. In fact, I hope they go 1-5 on this road trip and are 8 games out of the second Wild Card spot by the end of the weekend. Then we don’t have to listen to the front office tell us how “We’re still in the Wild Card hunt!” They literally have the 4th worst record in the AL, yet all you hear is that they are “playoff contenders!” Be sellers at the deadline, get some pieces for the future, and close the book on this season. Please.

And promptly Beckett throws a wild pitch to give up the lead.

A.P. – You watching the Sox? Beckett has actually been halfway decent and is still pitching into the 7th (!)

My closing argument is:

This guy barely got off the ground against a defender who was not only facing the other way, but who’s momentum was taking him away from the trailing player. Saying that he “Blake Griffin’d” him is simply not accurate.

Blake Griffin also has a 36 inch vertical, and dunks over people. This guy dunked off a sweet pass, but the defender wasn’t exactly challenging him. The comparison isn’t there.

Is Blake Griffin 7 feet? This guy doesn’t need to get any higher than that to dunk.

No I think he’s “only 6′ 10″.

Blake Griffin is 6’9″ on a good day.

Blake Griffin gets more than 16 inches off the ground.
