I am at the point at which I expect the starters will barf all over themselves every game. That way I am pleasantly surprised when they don't give up runs in the first inning. Go Sox.

I do believe that the 2012 Sox can be summed up by Drexl Spivey:
"We got everything here from a diddled-eye-Joe to a damned-if-I-know."

Seeing good Jon Lester would make me feel a lot better about this team.

So, what's the game plan that McClure and Lester have worked out? Something different? Studied some vintage Lester film? More cutters? Anything?Seeing good Jon Lester would make me feel a lot better about this team.

Middlebrooks out of lineup today. Yesterday's swings have finally discouraged Bobby V. Aviles back instead of Ciriaco.

Very questionable to be resting key starters against the Blue Jays. This team is facing a road trip where 1-5 or 2-4 looks like the two most likely outcomes. Winning this series against the Blue Jays was crucial.

Apparently it's Alumni Day at Fenway and like the 100th Anniversary thingamajig, all former players are welcome back to Fenway free. Bill Monboquette, Bob Montgomery, and Johnny Pesky allegedly to be present at today's game.

A lot of it has to do with the poor offense. Knowing that you basically have to throw a shutout to win is too much pressure for any pitcher. Peter Gammons has mentioned this a few times - Lester seems like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders every time he pitches. During most of last season, when the Sox offense could hit with RISP, Lester seemed much more relaxed on the mound. Now, he knows that if he gives up a run or two, he'll probably lose.
In past years, you always felt confident that the offense could make a comeback, even if they were down 4 or 5 runs. Now, even a one run deficit seems insurmountable at times.

That's the poor offense that has outscored every other team in baseball, right?

So his anxiety forces him to throw cookies right down the frigging middle of the plate! Bring in the sports shrink, asap!

Lester has terrible body language. He looks absolutely defeated out there.

If only we had some sort of... lets say... coach... who could work with the pitchers and make them better.
What a revolutionary concept that would be.

Put the mercy rule into effect. There has to be some way to DL Lester isn't there?

This team has spent the entire season down 3-0 after the first inning. Every game it feels like.

Why does Valentine go to the mound? Isn't that the pitching coach's role?

Imagine that you paid a whole lot of money to see this game in Fenway. I would feel even more angry.
