From the Sublime to the Ridiculous-ly UGLY: Peter

Well, Jenn, today just shows you how far things can turn in baseball in a single day.Yesterday we were praising Wake for his latest accomplishments and you'd figure with the Sox playing the same pathetic team and Bucky pitching it should be an easy day. Not so fast! While he wasn't getting lit up by any means, Bucky was not the same guy who's been tossing for the Hose this season so far. This became obvious when he gave up a run on a DP after loading the bases without the Tribe showing much in the way of an offense. It continued the next inning when he basically wild pitched a runner around the bases and in to score (two WP's in the same frame). Then, he steadied, but the hitters weren't. I mean JD and V-Mart each got a single and that was it for the Sox offense--against a guy with a horrible ERA, no less!
These are the ones, Jenn, you write off and move on to the next one, hoping for better times. Fortunately, the Jays lost, so our margin ahead of them stays the same. Unfortunately, they lost to the Rays, so we drop a game further astern of them, as well as the Stripes since they won too.
