• Lackey has the highest ERA in baseball among pitchers with 60 innings at 7.47. In fact, the next highest ERA is nearly two runs lower (Fausto Carmona at 5.78). He also has the highest home ERA in all of baseball -- an astounding 9.17 -- among pitchers who have thrown 20 innings in their own park. • Lackey has given up five or more runs in nearly half of his starts this season (6 of 13). • Since World War II, he’d currently have the highest ERA for a Red Sox pitcher at the All-Star break (minimum 50 innings). Jerry Casaler currently has that dubious distinction with his pre-break 6.89 ERA in 1960. Matt Clement’s 6.61 pre-break ERA in 2006 is currently second behind Casale. Lackey is scheduled to make one more start before the All-Star break. • If his season ended right now, Lackey would have the second highest ERA in franchise history for a pitcher with at least 50 innings pitched. In 1937, Wes Ferrell had a 7.61 ERA for the Red Sox before he was traded to the Washington Senators along with his brother Rick. Ferrell salvaged his season by going 11-13 with a 3.94 ERA for Washington, but his Red Sox numbers stand out for their futility.

Lackey: 'Everything in my life sucks right now' Let him solve his personal problems and DL, DFA or something. It is obvious that he can't handle the situation anymore. http://eye-on-baseball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22297882/29253260 http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/6660/screenshot20110705at120.png

Any pitcher can't be worst than Lackey these days, bring whoever, but bring him now!

Agreed. why TF doesn't want to see the game plain and simple? why?....he has a great roster... then, if you lose, no big deal (you have to lose some), but you surly will win more if you go at least by the book, but he is managing this team just like you give a F1 to a 10 yo kid.

Sorry Emmz, but he is right. TF is pathetic, he has made a lot of unexplainable moves this season, that in any reasonable stat or fundament he has been doing again and again... Trust me, this goes beyond lose or win a game and unfortunately is becoming very frustrating.

You're totally right my friend, but there's people there who still saying that TF is a great manager. I'm sick about his management (McD, Drew, Lackey and the BP/Lineup-spots things). I insist, we have this W-record (which should be better) despite TF, period.

Damn you Francona, Damn! unbelievable!.

Some people will still saying that from DL, he is better, and that this game was just a bad day, and that this stuff "happens". This guy is done. Send him to BP or DFA.

Damn, Lackey. Everybody hits him.

Damn, Lackey is collapsing again.

f*** the NL parks, good W, lets go home!

at least we scored before we sent our rally killer (McD)

lol on your signature! lol

unfortunately, this offense usually is lazy when he is on the mound.

Shooting ourselves in the foot again?, damn!... becoming a classic against these kind of teams.

Damn!, hope don't miss those bases loaded later!

cheap!

This offense hasn't supported Beckett with those 10 Rs/game like they do with the others.

We need more patience AB

and A-God's party continuous, he is batting .353, wow!

A lot of Sox fans in the crowd!

McD and Jenks performing as a super stars now!!! These Astros really suck!

Considering his age and numbers, surly he's looking for a kinda Crawford/Gonzalez Contract.
