What everyone thought was going to be the strength of the team is not looking good
Smoltz is washed up, Penny sux's, Dice-K he can go back to Japan for all I care, Wake is hurt.
The Sox should have gone after a pitcher, Theo loves broken down circus dogs.
A lot of big games coming up starting tonight.

Yeah, it is definitely a problem. I gotta admit, after the interview Matsuzaka gave to the Japanese paper where he attributed his struggles in the US to the conditioning program, which apparently was not suitable for Japanese physiology, I have no further respect or interest in him.

Yeah, this week might well be make or break for our chances at the division, two games at the Rays and four at the Yankees... With Wake still on the DL, now with sciatica, so probably out for another month. 2/5 starting pitchers able to win games just doesn't cut it.

The bull pen got to shoulder the load again, we have three pitchers that are lucky if you get five innings out of them?

Maybe Smoltz needs the challenge of facing the top teams instead of the Baltimores and Washingtons he has faced...maybe, maybe ... I hope!

I just hope Lester pitches 6 or 7 tonight against the Rays...

WTF Francoma what don't you know?
Evan Longoria, which I feel is the best player in Baseball and kills the Sox time after time is allowed to hit two home runs including the game winner.
It's a freakin shame Lester goes out pitches a great game strikes out 10 should have been at least 12 he was getting squeezed by some bad umpiring.
You can pin this loss on Francoma, Bard and Saito.

Can't blame the pitching for this one. Held the Rays to two runs through 9. Blame the offense for not getting off their asses to hit a couple runs in.

Yep that's true the offence has been crap, for a while now.
Tito got to start putting the best line up on the field and stop worring about players feelings.
Bay and Drew have done nothing for two months,
Teck is back to his old ways of being an easy out and should be limited to playing twice a week.
Mike Lowell should get some time at DH.
Ortiz should sit agienst leftys.
