Getting Serious!--Peter

Well, three and counting! This is getting to look grim, even if the Stripes also lost tonight. I mean this is following a very disturbing pattern. We get an early lead and then die. Up three zip on JD's first circuit of the year and then nothing! Runners on base, but no-one gets them in! The vaunted bullpen looks like bullshit! Oki, while getting a Hold, allows a baserunner that he's later charged for when Bard, he of the triple digit heat, gives up the hit to plate the run. Then, just to make matters worse, he allows the winning run to score as well, because our bats have been lulled to sleep. This better turn around or we'll really be in deep doo-doo.
On the good side (yes there may have been one), Wake looked pretty good: 6 K's in 7 innings, a WHIP of 1.0. Papi got a hit,his first two-bagger of the year. The Sox also outhit the Royals; they just left the base runners on the bases--not what you're supposed to do.
