I feel compelled to discuss this game that no one watched. Writing about a 34-0 loss is freeing, I feel like a deep-sea explorer or an astronaut reporting sights that few others have witnessed. No matter how ridiculous my claim there is not a soul around to dispute me. Did you know, for example, that in the 8th inning Tom Murphy was briefly confused for a ballpark usher and was escorted back to the stands by security where he reluctantly did an above-average job? Did you?
The important thing about today was not happening on the field, but on the stage, where Edgar Martinez was inducted into the Hall of Edgar Martinez.
