Dad --
Well, Lackey made quite a showing in his debut in the Red Sox uniform, throwing 6 shut out innings. It's so nice to have him on our bench this year as opposed to being forced to face him as the Sox have in the past.
The pitcher only gave up 3 hits and two walks over six and he struck out three. It was nice to watch, especially considering what the two previous starters had done. But then the bullpen came in.
Schoeneweis gave up the tying run in the 7th. Then Papelbon was able to get through the 9th inning unscathed, but he fell apart in the 10th giving up 2 more runs and giving the Evil Empire the lead.
But last night wasn't just about the relief pitching. It's what it's always been about - the Sox can't get the hits when they count. They left eight men on base, Dad. Eight! If even half of those men had scored, the Sox would have won. Oh, well.
Tomorrow Wakefield faces Davies in Kansas City. Here's hoping he's outstanding this season as he was for the first half of last season. We need a win - from both our starters and our relief.
