    6 runs should be enough on any given night. You are right about that. I am not letting the pitching off the hook, especially Lester, who Bobby V is rightfully giving a shorter and shorter leash. The bull pen is a rag tag collection of misfits. It would be unreasonable to expect them to be lights out every game. They have done better than expected. I never expect Pedey and Gonzo to leave so many men on base. They are the go to guys. For that reason, I put them at the top of the list for last night. It will probably be the only time that Pedey will be at the top of such a list, but he earned it last night. I love the guy, and I'd rather have him than any second baseman, but his didn't get it done last night. As for Gonzo, he has me worried.

    I don't think you can ever blame a single play for a loss. The play was early in the game and Lester had the chance to pick him up. He didn't. Pedey and Gonzo had several opportunities to blow open innings with a big hit. The faield repeatedly. N, I don't hang this one on Aviles by a long shot. A SS with 6 errors is doing a good job. Lester did a poor job when he faced adversitry. The pen blew up too, but those shortcomings would have been irrelevant if Pedey or Gonzo had contributed anything at all. It happens. Give me 2 guys on base a couple of times a game with no out or 1 out and Pedey and Gonzo and Ortiz coming up and I like our chances for a blow out on those nights. Last night, it didn't work out.

    Sure he made an error, but instead of picking up his fielder Lester did what he has done all season long when he has met adversity. He unraveled. Also, Aviles was on base all night for Pedey and Gonzo and they did nothing. Aviles is way down on the list of reasons for the loss. He put the team in a great position for big innings and the big boys spit the bit.

    You are right. No one can have a 162 game hot streak, but the reasons for Tuesday's loss were Pedroia, Gonzo and the Bullpen. Saying that Pedroia is a reason for losing a game is not a condemnation of him as a player. He is one of the best players in baseball, and I have always said that when he hits the Sox win. Tonight the tables were set for him all night and he came up empty. I'll bet that he is taking this on himself. He is not a concern for Sox fans, because these types of days are rare for him. Gonzo is becoming a concern. It's June for crying out loud, and this guy is looking lost. We thought we were getting a Pujols type hitter and he is not even hitting up to Brian Daubach standards. The bullpen ranks third in the list of reasons for losing this game. If Pedroia and Gonzo had done their jobs at all, the game would have been a blowout and the pen would have been irrelevant.

    Straight gas, but too often right down the middle.

    He could use a mental health day. He looks like hell.
  11. a700hitter
    Pass or no pass, the reason why we lose this game is that he and Gonzo have done nothing.

    The Sox should have scored a shitload of runs tonight. Aviles and Pods were all over the bases all night long, but Pedroia and Agon did nothing.

    No dingers from Sweeney. You can be certain of that

    Andino kills us.

    Pods doing his job. He has been very productive and an excellent situational hitter since he has been up.
  16. a700hitter
    Not much of a HR dispensary so far.

    Dice K pitched like s*** tonight. He got through 1 1/3 inning and did his best Daniel Bard imitation with walks (3) and he gave up a hit.

    we all expected bumps in the road, but leading the league in walks plus that last start. Those are not bumps. That's driving off a cliff.

    Blanton is a pig. No way I would swap Youk for Blanton.
