I was thinking the same. If they win 2 against Texas they'll have to drop 2 to the Guardians. I suppose they could take two from the Guardians but afterwards, a four to five game lose streak would be inevitable. Oh well, thus is the Red Sox 2012. Offensive inconsistency and deflated pitching (however, Buchholz looks like our version of King Felix now, so props).
Next season could be great though (like this season right? ha): Doubront will improve with less walks. Lester looks like he's figuring it out (we'll see) so he should bounce back to perform to his elite level next season (pitching is tough, down seasons happen...), and who knows if Morales can be a starter, then there is Free Agency. I'm positive for next season. I hope CC performs like his TB years.
