Fvck them.
And they fvcking won again tonight.
Unfvckingreal.
And our newest member, the Jets/Yankees fan is right, the back end of our rotation blows. I knew we were screwed this series when Lester did not get the win last night and the bullpen got toasted.
Smoltz sucks/Penny sucks/Buchholtz sucks; to think this guy was crying earlier in the year about not getting a chance to pitch in Boston.
DiceK having a meltdown really fvcked this team over and Wakefield, per usual, ends up on the DL with back/neck problems. I love the guy, he's been a warrior for this team, but he should retire already as we go through this every year with this guy and he holds the team hostage by having them keep a catcher around just for him and his knuckleball.
If they lose 3 of 4 this weekend or (gulp) get swept, they are toast............

I think it's more about our Pen making location mistakes. 1 pitch is all it takes for a ball to sail in the bleaches and unfortunately for us as fans, our pen has been throwing too many basketballs at the box.
It doesn't seem like the bullpen is pitching smart. I'm sure they read the scatter reports, but when you throw a ball to a hitter's sweet spot, you have to expect to be taken to the cleaners.
The problem with our offense is we seem to be stuttering as a team. Put the ball in our sweet spot, and we fly out. RISP or LOB is really driving me insane atm. We don't seem to capitalise on opportunities. Hopefully this will turn.
Rays seems to be our kryptonite of 2008/2009.
