Beanpot

Took my brother to the baseball Beanpot at Fenway this evening. My sister tagged along; both of them are on April vacation.

The game was delayed a day for rain, so this was the second game - Northeastern University v. Boston College. It was painful to watch. We left in the fifth inning, with BC up 13-4.

Omar Pena, our shortstop and brother to the Detroit Tigers' Carlos Pena, is awful. His defense was just abominable. He had two or three real errors plus more poor plays. Our catcher was less than outstanding too. He caught decently, but couldn't throw anyone out to save his life. The rest of the time wasn't much better. One bright spot was a guy named Herlot, center field, who accounted for all four of our runs with a two-run homer and a triple.

Sad.
