Tito's stubbornness in keeping "his guys" in may have worked in 2004, but you can do that in a strong lineup anyway. When your hitters not in the 3-4-or5 spots aren't producing you need change. This is just plain disgusting. Frustrating and ********. From Westbrook's 1st two innings to Lofton's homerun and Martinez's front-foot hits I've never seen so much luck.
Thought these were pretty cool, per ESPN

YES! Just checked the scores and am pumped I won. Great 2 week bout with BoSox34 but am glad I came through, I was sure Id get the top seed curse and get eliminated somewhere along the line.
Lackey v. Sox (career)
60 IP, 6.27 ERA, 42 ERs, 10 HRs, 48 Ks, 26 BBs, 90 Hs
Lackey v. Sox (2007)
9.2 IP, 8.39 ERA, 9 ERs, 2 HRs, 9 Ks, 1 BB, 20 Hs
Along with the +2 WHIP against us this season, a lot to like.
EDIT: Looking at the punishment, it's somewhat of a joke. We already ahve a 1st round pick, and the fines will not really have an affect. I expected some kind of suspension, but if this is it I'd say we got off easy, especially if the 1st rounder we lose is #32.
