Ummmm...What the fuck was that?
Jacoby finally returned to the big leagues, our "ace" is on the hill against the worst team in baseball, and yet the Sox get the shit kicked out of them. WTF?
I have to say that I am usually an optimist, but most of my faith I had in this team making a run just went flying out the window. With Youk out, and Lowell not being able to play everyday, the Sox still have a big hole in their lineup (even with Jacoby back).
Lester didn't have a great game by any stretch (5 innings 7 hits 4 runs (2 ER) 4 Ks), but the Sox haven't been helping him at all lately with run support. Andy Marte hit a three-run homer in a five-run seventh inning, and Jayson Nix homered off the Fisk Pole to give Cleveland its fourth win in five games. Look at those two names...Marte and Nix, yup those are the guys that beat up the 2nd highest payroll in baseball.
What ever happened to that run prevention technique? The Sox had 3 very costly errors last night, and there really isn't much of an excuse for it.
Lester said he had a cramp in his left hamstring that may have been an effect of the hot (86 degree), humid weather. I doubt this will be anything that will hold him out for a start, but the Sox just can't seem to get a break this year.
Think Masterson holds a grudge? He is 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA against Boston and 2-10 with a 6.06 ERA against everyone else. Not much I can say about, other then chill out Masteron you son of a bitch.
Anyways, the Sox looked cooked. They are 6 1/2 games behind the Ray and Yankees. There is still time, but the Sox really need to play a lot better, and lady luck needs to swing by Fenway.
