The Red Sox were ahead 4-1 in the seventh, and the bullpen blows it. Are we waiting for Mike Timlin to stop the bleeding? I seriously hope it has not come down to that.
Then, their comeback rally gets squashed when Lowell gets caught stealing second. Why was Lowell trying to steal second? Because it was a hit and run play, and guess who was hitting? 13-103 Jason Varitek? He has 13 hits in his last 103 at-bats? Are you kidding me? I understand he is invaluable behind the plate, when he went out with an injury in 2005, our pitching just fell apart. But 13-103? And he was up to bat at the end of the game? Tito, you have no other hitters on that bench? That is Clint Hurdle-esque!!! You gotta pinch hit for the captain in that situation, and you certainly don't put a hit and run play on.
So, Sox get swept for the seond time this year by the Rays, and now we head to NY to face the dreaded Skanks. Oy ve.
