Congratulations! You broke up a no-hitter in the ninth. You should be very proud.
There is no reason a team with this talent should be playing this poorly. I thought the All-Star Break would give the Sox a much needed rest and that they would come out of the gate ready for the second half. Boy was I wrong. We are now looking at 1-4 on this home stand so far. Matsuzaka, right on cue, is showing his true nature. He lulls you into a sense of false security with some decent pitching then OOPS, POW, SURPRISE! a 6 run inning. Clay Buchholz continues his post no-hitter funk. And now to pour salt in a gaping wound, the Angels manage to get the Braves to take freakin' Casey Kotchman and a AA prospect for Mark Teixeira. Why didn't Boston just offer Atlanta Joe Thurston and Kyle Snyder? They might have given us their whole team.
Oh crap. I think I see War, Pestilence, and Famine riding up over the hill. And you know who comes around right on their heels.

Here it comes without fail the annual august funk. The Red Sox are usually terrible in August. with a tough schedule they will have their hands full trying to keep pace with the wildcard.
