That is 100% high quality Clay Buchholz spit. (SEE EXPLANATION IN LAST POST)
RED SOX NOTES
- Just a terrible performance from the boys tonight. (Game Wrap Here)
- Terry Francona's decision to walk Sean Casey to load the bases in the 5th was awful. Casey is not a huge power threat with a .394 slugging percentage and just one home run. There were two outs and the Sox did not have to load the bases to induce a double play. They should have taken their chances with Casey instead of putting another man on base. The next batter Marcus Thames, who has a .514 slugging percentage and 9 homers, crushed the Julian Taveraz offering for a grand slam.
- Speaking of Tavarez, he needs to be moved to the bullpen. The guy is very effective his first time through an order, but is just not effective his second and third times through the order. I do not have opponnents batting average splits, but trust me, they are terrible. When Schilling comes back and the rotation is back to normal, Theo can either turn to an in house option by filling the spot with Jon Lester (encouraging performance tonight) or Buchholz, or he can acquire a starter through a trade.
- Wily Mo Pena has struck out 46 times in 116 at bats. He has walked 11 times. I love his power potential, but he just doesn't have the plate discipline or contact rates to be a solid regular.

Site is looking good. I'll be sure to link you in the next couple of days when I settle in for my first post since the early May. Too many things to do and too little time.
