mystified

Mike Scioscia: crazy?

The Halos are down by one in the top of the ninth. Their closer, K-Rod, has been erratic in the previous inning. He starts off the ninth even shakier, throwing the ball up, down, anywhere but in the strike zone.

Yet Scioscia leaves him in.

Worse, as K-Rod gives up walks, hits, and runs, no one is warming up in the bullpen.

K-Rod finishes the inning, and the Angels are down two more runs, 6-3. That's all it takes for the Sox's Contreras, who douses any hopes of a rally with a 1-2-3 inning. The Sox take their first pennant since 1956.

Why?

Why?

Why?
