1.) It looks like Wake is coming back soon, from what I heard the other day. With Wake going 6 or 7 every time that gives us 3 starters saving our bullpen. If Wake doesn't come back soon, we are totally screwed, but I think he will.
2.) Yesterday could have very well been a turning point for Clay Buchholz. He looked pretty darn good against that Yankees lineup. If he turns it around, this pitching staff is going to be awfully good again.
3.) Our offense isn't this bad. It's just not. Pedroia, Youk, Drew, V-Mart and Ellsbury will all hit. Jason Bay is the key. He needs to come back healthy and productive. If this happens our offense will be fine. Hopefully either Lowell or Ortiz will be semi-productive down the stretch, that would help.
I don't think we can win the division, but honestly we can win the wild card. So don't give up just yet.
