So much for being inspired by recently inducted HOFer Jim Rice. Paps blew it in the ninth and the hapless A's went on to complete their comeback in extras. The Sox squandered a golden opportunity to pick up a game on the Yanks. With the Yankees as hot as they've been, it was tough to see Boston not only lose, but snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Anyway, did anyone see how snippy Wade Boggs was to reporters during the Hall of Fame weekend? He was not to pleased when asked about Rice's number retirement. Bogg's number has not yet been retired by the Red Sox. I'm in the dark about this. Is there any acrimony between Boggs and ownership that I don't know about?
