Tigers start out with 3 in KC, then 4 with the Sox in Chicago....then a weekend at home with the Phillies!
good chance for the red sox to open up a little space, 3 against the yanks at home, then against tampa, then a quick trip to baltimore, do well in this strecth and the will be able to breaqthe a little

yeah at worst a split leaves them 1.5 up, they're pitching has been unbelievable lately, but like I said, they've handled it pretty well so far this year.
Now bailey gone for the year, and lester taking an extended vacation, and bucholz seeing a specialist. WTF, the rotation is going to be l;ackey doubront dempster, workman, and......webster???
about the only good thing i heard all weekend was the potential deal to extend pedey's contract, well worth every penny if you ask me.

Wow, Ryan Braun suspended for the rest of the season. Now admits wrong doing.
And cubs trade garza for olt and a couple of other players. Olt was who we wanted when we were trading either lee or hamels last year.

how does tampa continue to breed Cy Youngs??/ Moore was unhittable last night.
in other news, i like Workman, a little shaky in the first, but he's pitched 2 games now the sox could have won but he was matched up against hot pitchers.
Hopefully tonight the bats wake back up a little.
I just read the yankees might get Soriano from the Cubs, they need to make sure their medicare payments are up to date

Yea, he will probably retire a Red Sock now. This deal expires when he is 38.

a win 6-2 , Lester, other than two dingers, pitched well.
i'll take giving up 5 runs in 2 games to tampa.
Now we have Dobront and lackey slotted for the last 2 of the series.
I would like to see 2 more wins, but they are tough

doubront and lackey can hold their offense, i'm concerned they can score runs against their pitchers.
at least they were making them work last night.
Moore was throwing about 10 pitches an inning the night before, that's not gonna work against tampa

Sox take 2 of 3 from Baltimore, and claw their way back into 1st.
now they get to play tampa in the make up game and go up against price for the second time in 5 days
Hopefully papi's temper tantrum on saturday wakes the bats up a little,they needed a spark they were listless the last week or so.

you can see how well run they are when they elected to pitch Valdez (aging AAA relief pitcher who throws 88mph) ) instead of calling up somebody, anybody. Surely we have someone better.
Hamels wasn't bad but we have no offense to speak of. Pettibone is ok too but since he battles, Charlie's afraid to keep him in.
Bullpen is in shambles but that's nothing new.
On the plus side, they can stop pretending to "need" Michael Young. Get something for him while we still can.
Pap can go fly a kite - he's turning "Werthless" with his comments.

we're calling the death on this year
I didn't hate Pap's contract - at the time it was really only him or Madson and Madson hasn't thrown a pitch since he left us 2 years ago. And Pap's mostly been solid - if we were competing his contract wouldn't even be discussed.
Running your mouth against your team and organization doesn't cut it around here. And its not going to help the team to have another problem.
last year we could blame on the DL - this year that excuse doesn't cut it. They're just feeble with the bat.

I hope it isn't to the red sox, they could bring up bogarts or middlebrooks to fill that hole.
i really think they won't do anything before the deadline, look to make a trade in Agust if they need to.
honestly their pitching is Ok, they could use help in the bullpen, but it's their offense right now that's slumping.
Of course seeing david price 2 times in 5 days will do that to you, hopefully seattle will be a little easier to score runs on, but you can't blame the pitching when you lose 2-1
