Seven-Inning Felix (14-7) got bombed today by the last-place Boston Red Sox. In just two and one-third innings (seven outs), he gave up 10 runs, which increases his earned-run average to 3.65. It took him 59 pitches to get those seven outs. At that rate, it would have taken him 227.5 pitches to get 27 outs. No wonder he can't pitch a complete game! He is amazingly inefficient. Peasant Felix is on track for 18.7 victories. His team is mired in fourth place. So much for the $24.8 million he earns this season. If he had any self-respect, he'd return at least half of his salary to the team, or at least donate it to charity. The man is devoid of leadership qualities. Depending on how he feels on a given day, he could either pitch a perfect game or head for the showers after two innings.
