Well, yesterday I was going to talk about how the Rays' starters have just been better than ours. But last night, all their pitching was better than ours. I don't know what the bullpen's drinking but whatever it is, it's bad.
Like Dad said Oki may have been fine (much to my shock) but Delcarmen and Hansen, who just a week or so ago were lights out, have hit the skids. It's a good thing I wait a day to discuss the games otherwise last night's blog would have been chock full of four-letter words.
I was so pissed off. The Sox got a gift yesterday in Kazmir. He's usually the Rays #1 pitcher and the Sox always have a hard time against him. But every pitcher has an off day and clearly last night was Kazmir's. And we made him pay for it. What looked like an opportunity to pick up a game on the Rays was obliterated the minute Delcarmen took the mound in the bottom of the 7th inning. He started the nail in the Red Sox' coffin when he loaded the bases with nobody out. Then Hansen came in and finished the job.
It's so frustrating. We have a good lead and Dice-K had actually calmed down enough after the first inning to get five K's. But he couldn't stay in for the whole game since he'd alreay thrown 101 pitches by the end of the 5th inning, and it was only his third start back from the DL.
I guess there's nothing more to say. Today we face the Yanks. Let's hope the bullpen has their act together, otherwise, it's going to be a long 2nd half of the season.
