Well, let's see. Why don't I just name the person (a writer whom I trust implicitly, a person who had a conversation with a former manager of his). No, not going to go there. Let's just say I hope for the Red Sox sake, that Pomeranz has overcome those difficulties and will be good for Boston. But so far, the jury is out.

I've heard from some insiders that Pomeranz is not very mentally tough. Let's see, a soft lefty with a jittery stomach at Fenway Park. Who thought that was a good idea?

Red Sox must find a way to get out of this funk. Traveled a long way to see part of the MINN series at Fenway. A first game 13-2 win seems like the high water mark. Since then, a bad slide....two brutal losses to a bad Twins team (making us feel like we turned the season sour just by showing up) a sweep by Detroit, and now this lackluster effort against the Angels. The brutal error by Hanley in game one, and now 11 LOB tonight, most v. a pitcher begging to get knocked out. Not making key defensive plays, and not getting key hits when needed. Most good pitching outings are wiped out by no offense. Explosive offense wiped out by terrible pitching. Hitters looking at pitches down the middle, then swinging at crap for strike three. Bad combos and not very much fun to watch right now. Get your stuff together Red Sox...you're better than this!!
