Well, as those of you in Sox Nation likely already know, the Sox had stormed back from their miserable start to take the first three games of the four game set with the Rays by just overwhelming the Rays--11 runs in game 1, 13 in game 2, and a more sedate 6 in yesterday's round. Today, in the traditional Patriots Day game, they tried, but couldn't carry it to four in a row. They lost a tight 1-0 pitching duel with the Rays' Shields. What hurt worst was the way the Rays got the game's only run--on a bases loaded free pass!
Youk might have made a difference, but, for whatever reason, he was not in the lineup. Which brings up the latest issue with the Sox--Bobby V's comments about him implying he wasn't the Yoouuk of past seasons because he, in Valentine's opinion, wasn't giving his all for the team. To imply anything remotely like that of Yoouuk, is so far beyond ridiculous that you can't even see it on your radar! Adding this to V's pre-season comments on the rotation's members makes one begin to believe that maybe he should be replaced, as Ken Rosenfield suggests, if it keeps up--by Francona! At least Terry knew how to win in the Hub.
