Hoping tonight's game doesn't go as long as the Mets on Sunday... what was that, 20 innings? 11 is good as long as the Sox win.

Damn that Sox lineup looks rough! If they're gonna turn it around they better do it soon. You don't want to try and make up 10 games against a 2 headed monster like NY and Tampa.

Not much to get excited about so far. The Sox are on my back burner with the way the Bruins have been playing in the playoffs

Beckett working hard to finish the season with an ERA over 10? So glad we signed that long term deal and paid him all that money...

No wonder he jumped on the new contract extension?
Now on the other hand he has the same ERA as he did last year at this time,and finished with 17 wins.

We all hope the Beckett can duplicate his resurgence from last year - time will tell.

On another subject: I'm having a hard time with this whole saga of sending Wake to the pen to make room for Dice-K. I know they paid him a boatload of money and need to try to get value from him but ... you know he's Dice-K...just painful to watch AND he has never really produced to the hype that surrounded him. I know - 18 wins his first year, but if you remember he had tons of run support and was bailed out by a superior bullpen lots and lots of times. Wakefield , on the other hand, has been a good soldier and consistantly produced over the years. Yes, he has the occasional clunker, but with one game to win and a choice between those two, I put Wakefield out there every time.

Is there a better answer - probably not - that doesn't mean I have to like this though.
