Rays Blaze Sox Jocks

Not much to say at the moment. I've been walking around with the junior high dance feeling in my gut all weekend after watching the Sox get swept by the Rays at Fenway for the first time ever. In a 4-game series no less.

Bad starting pitching, anemic offense, porous defense. No doubt about it the Rays are a great team, but they made the Sox look like a AAA squad. As usual, the Rays went wild on the base paths, 9-for-9 in the series last time I heard. The Sox on the other hand, didn't do much running at all.

Seems like everyone but Pedroia is in a slump. In fact, the Sox have only delivered twice in the last 32 times with runners in scoring position. Both hits? Fourth outfielder Jeremy Hermida.

I could go on and on but there's no point. Just have to hope the Sox can get healthy and confident and win the next few series to get back into contention.
