This team has the record of a team being supported by part-timers, minor leaguers, and mediocre inconsistent pitching. Being six games out sucks but this team is capable of stringing some wins together and going on 7 of 10 runs. The other day when Doubront was falling apart I found myself wishing Buchholz could pitch two days straight. I think Beckett & Buchholz can anchor the rotation. Lester needs to figure out why the 3rd & 4th innings are so tough. When Ross, CC, Ellsbury return I think this team will get some new life amd motivation in them. As for Gonzalez, he just needs to earn his paycheck. Not sure why a guy with that kind of consistently proven talent/capability is in the gutter so bad. Maybe it's the pressure of that paycheck.
Anyway, sox sure look s***** right now but for what kind of injuries they've sustained and creating pitchers out of Doubront and Bard they are at about where any of us should expect them, especially playing in the AL f***in' East.
Go,sox,
