Ugly Doesn't Begin to Cover It!: Peter

Oy, Jenn! Last night vs the Halos was bad enough, but, after winning nine straight, it was bearable. Tonight--Yeeechhh! Lester starts, so we've likely got an excellent shot right? Not tonight! He lasts just two plus innings, has a game WHIP of over FIVE at departure and is behind nine zip when he takes a shower with no-one gone in the 3d. At game time he's in third in the AL in K's and just adds one on the evening.All this in 51 pitches in so short a time. Four relievers follow in order and all give up runs to the Jays, only the last, Wake, avoiding having any earned runs charged to him.
Sox offense? Well, you could say the way they played tonight was offensive, but only to people who enjoy seeing good baseball played. And just to make matters worse, the Dustman went back on the DL. Seems his foot that's healed really isn't. I don't even want to have a nightmare about where we'd be without Beltre & Papi this year.
Fortunately, Mr. Hankie's Yankees lost and Oakland has tied the Rays in the bottom of the 8th and has men on first and third. So more hope there.
Boy did the Sox game stink tonight--worse than one of Aidan's diapers!
