The Boston Red Sox; Lose 2 out of 3 from the Central 1st place Texas Rangers but the Sox are still in 1st In The East!!!
Today Dice-K and the Sox came out looking a little off for the first time in June!! Like I stated in a previous blog, if the Sox pitching is healthy they can take it all, and they had been proving that every game but today, Beckett and Lester almost threw no hitters this week, Wakefield and Penny(besides his last start) have been looking great and Dice got his 1st win since coming off the DL last week, but he didn't look that great today, a little off-- Hey you can't win them all!!!
The Sox need Dice looking back to his old self, throwing in the low 90s, throwing over 90 pitches, only allowing a run or 2, instead today we went 5 innings giving up 10 hits and 5 earned runs and he would get the loss 6-3!! The the way that our hitting is going and having everyone contributing the Red Sox are a hard team to beat!! The exception weas yesterday's game when the Sox had only had 4 hits all game and never were able to get Dice the lead. Dice just looked uncomfortable.
Youkilis and Ortiz each had 1 hit and Kotsay had 2 hits 1 being a homer leading to the Sox scoring 3 runs, but that's all they could come up with, leading to the 6-3 win by the Rangers!! Texas hung onto their lead and they won keeping them in first place also in the Central and winning this series against Boston at Fenway!! The Sox go into a day off in 1st place in the East tied with the Yankees and our next series will be against these Yankees here at Friendly Fenway. Tuesday Night --So Lets Win This Series, Let's go Sox.
