Red Sox Alien Nation...?

Smoltz turns out not to be smoking hot in his debut - and the Sox lose one after winning a whole bunch... So what?

On this SBNation website I sometimes drop by, I spotted something that made me react a tad more, though...

Regular "DixonTrimline" reports that he was at the game (number 72 of the looooong baseball schedule; only about 75+ more to go, eh) and here are his exact words, typed and submitted to that site quite exactly on June the 26th, 2009, at 8:22 AM EDT...!

I was sitting just under the right field foul pole (section 137), sweet seats, but that was nothing like a sweet game. Smoltz was fine (after the first), and he did adjust well after his first inning, but the offense: non-existent. And the fielding: yipes. There was a slight sci-fi feeling, like the teams had swapped bodies after game 2.

I did get to see a girl get her face blown apart by a foul pop in the 7th. So there is that.

Sheesh - the only thrilling thing was imagining a sci-fi twist to explain the weird way things turned out on the field?

Oh, and yeah - that girl getting her face "BLOWN APART" as he puts it...!

YIKES.

That guy should perhaps be known as Dick-on-a-thin-line...
And is it really SoBNation... then?
