SOX

Looks like Tampa Bay's run was just too little too late. I mean lets be real it hasnt been much of a run... they've basically just been playing baseball at a professional level and its caused them to pick up 7 games on the Sox in 3 weeks. That should tell you something. That being said, the Red Sox will make the playoffs this year, but boy do things look grim. Wouldnt it be nice if John Lackey, a guy who is making close to 80 million dollars could be a servicible number 5 or 6 starter. I wouldnt start him for my college team right now. Its been a sad, long two years for this guy and just when you think it cant get any worse, it does. 6.49. His current ERA. why is he on this team? The same reason J.D. Drew is. Because in baseball you just cant get cut a guy like you can in football. Hey, at least someones happy about Lackey's struggles....Carl Crawford.
