Hopefully, this is his last opening.

Rivera says screw your streak, I suck

A keen observer knew he would be  a barking dog. You could feel it coming

He also sucked in his last opening.

My thought on the August 3 deadline is that Breslow should continue to be cautious.  His best deals are the offseason ones.  

 

Cautious means hedging. Either go for it or sell. No more hedging 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bello s/b well rested.

[vegasbob]

It will be fun to see the hitters for Boston overcome the Rivera curse with an 8 run game

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe this is the most runs behind the Sox have been during this streak.

Enough coddling Bello.  

[vegasbob]

They needed Suarez back today but for sure Friday

[FredLynn]

Thanks for nothing Rivera

Coddling is pretty rampant in MLB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Iron man Tyler.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was a train wreck.

[vegasbob]

I am thinking this is the B lineup for Boston and it is rusty.

Bradish is not Cy Young.

It may be a loss in the making but it can clarify the use of some players 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Worst case scenario is the Sox win the 3 game series.

but rusty and still a thrower. not a pitcher.

The Fat Lady is singing 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

During his career Abreu has proven he can go from summer to winter while avoiding fall altogether.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Luv those DP's.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bello allowing the Sox to get back in this game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mono Stereo using the Monster.

Actually, he's abusing the Monster.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That book is why most role players have a relatively short offensive shelf life.

Just got home and turned the game on. Kind of figured that starting Rivera was probably going to end the streak. Still time for a rally though.

[Tedballgame]

Great to hear Eck in the booth with OB and Will. Eck was the best color man in the business! I really miss hearing him.

That means the Sox still have a shot at winning.

Nice work by Bello tonight.

The streak was going to end sometime.  We can complain about Rivera’s start (and it was bad) but the Sox have 1 run on 4 hits.  Not going to win many like that.  Most likely going to go .500 or so for a while.

Against a team that came into Fenway with a 7 game winning streak.
