The Sox got blown out, but they were going against Roy Halladay and playing a bunch of scrubs. The real story in this game is whether or not this is the last time we will ever see Tim Wakefield pitch. The Wake went 3 innings allowing 5 runs, and just looks like he is not the same guy who had such a great first half of the year (remember he was an All-Star).
The Wake was arguably the MVP of the first half of the season for the Red Sox. In my mind I am thinking that there is no chance that he is on the playoff roster, and I think Wake knows it too...
“I don’t make those decisions (playoff roster),” Wakefield said when asked how realistic his place in the postseason was. “Those decisions will come down in the next couple days. I’ll deal with it when the time comes. If I’m on the team, great. I’ll give them everything I have, whether it’s in relief or a start or whatever. If I’m not, I’ll be the biggest cheerleader in the dugout.”
I know the 2nd half of the season Wake wishes went better, but he made the All-Star team. The Sox are in the playoffs, and I just think it is time for him to hang it up. He has nerve damage in his back that is going to require offseason surgery. So, as much as I love the Wake it is time for him to retire...
