Bad day

SPORTING GOODS

The Red Sox lost again last night, their 4th out of the last 5, and have now lost consecutive series to the Devil Rays and the Orioles.

Keith Foulke and Alan Embree continued to show that they have no ability to get anybody out right now. Keith Foulke is not fooling anyone with his changeup, and if his changeup is not working and his control is off, then his fastball is just a big meatball.

Curt Schilling is going on the DL, joining David Wells. With Wade Miller pitching in Pawtucket tonight, I'm not even sure who the 5th starter is, with John Halama now in the rotation as the 4th starter. Yeesh.

The lineup is hitting a bit (although Bellhorn, Mueller, Millar, Renteria - aka the whole infield - is still slumping). But with no starting pitching and no relief pitching, we may see a lot more games like last night before the Sox right the ship.

And lastly, the rain today meant no listening to the game, and no Sox game at all until Friday. Considering all the factors above, maybe that is a good thing.
