Instead of the 5/6 of 7 wins we hoped for in this home stand we got 4 of 7, even while everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Optimist? The team scored 30 runs in the last 4 games, 42 on the 7 game home stand, so hitting was stronger than the record indicates. The slumps are ending across the board.
Pitching? Another mixed bag going to Baltimore. Smoltz tomorrow, Beckett Sat., then Wake or Buchholz Sunday. Penny & Lester at Tampa Bay??? We’ll be fine.
In the meantime, despite the struggles, the Sox are no more than 3.5G behind, and the Rays have fallen way back. This post season run is by no means over, folks. If I’m a player, Papi’s issue pisses me off big time, and I spend the next month playing at the top of my game. And sweeping at a Yankee hate-Papi-fest next week will be a team goal. Controlled emotions by the Sox. Look out.

Whew…losing 3 of 4 to the A’s would have ruined my weekend.

No sh!t? They won? It’s like our boys forgot to suck for a few innings or something…

Is Papelbon our closer? Don’t get your hopes too high up.
I guess I kinda feel that we’re still just playing the A’s, and this is where we should be. splitting a 4 game series with the A’s is not going to inspire an overwhelming amount of confidence. Only that disaster is currently slightly avoided.

I guess the question is, has there been a positive from him ever since? I mean, good god, he’s had a gut ever since he came from Mn, so if he’s using steroids he’s been stupid this entire time.

Like I alluded to in the article, I think that the answer might lie in those accursed protein shakes.

Thank you Daniel Bard for at least one non-heart attack inning. We had better not deal him tomorrow…

How the hell are we supposed to feel about this one? Also, I can 100% see Ortiz walking around with a tiny cup challenging reporters to a round-the-clock drug test.
