I am always critical of lousy play, and they have played lousy for the first 6 weeks of the season, but as I said this morning, I can't explain why good players and pitchers have been playing so badly. I have been waiting for this team to turn a corner. Maybe this series is going to be it.
BTW: Ortiz is back, and pretty close to his pre-injury self. Barring injury, he will hit 30 bombs and knock in 100+
