The Kimbrel "Kurse"

Lew thought that he and I might be bad luck for Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel.

We don't often see the end of night games because they get over kind of late. (Zzzzzzz.....)

But when we do manage to stay awake — like tonight — it seems like Kimbrel always makes the 9th inning more exciting than it needs to be.

With only a two-run lead, he loaded the bases. I decided to floss my teeth.

Fortunately he got a nice ground-ball out to end the game... ahhhhhh, two-run lead intact and a nice win for starting pitcher Chris Sale.

Two things I learned tonight:
  1. If there is a Kimbrel "Kurse" at least Lew and I are not it.
  2. Kimbrel is spelled with only one "L."  (Who knew?)
