Sox Out-bombed in Baltimore

A disappointing night at Camden Yards for the Sox, but it was nice to see Big Papi go yard twice- something that hasn't happened since August 26th of last year. Yeah, they lost their 2nd in a row to the Birds and they failed to capitalize on a loss by the Rays, but we've got to remain positive. Matsuzaka was pitching well until his last inning, even underwear model Jim Palmer thought so, and Van Every had a terrific 3rd inning with a long home run to center and a flashy diving catch in the field. Here's the catch.

The Sox have a tough schedule in May. Real tough. They have the Yanks and the Rays and the Angels. But when you're playing division rivals it just makes it all that easier to do the math for the standings. We need good starting pitching this month and a more balanced offensive attack. Of course, 9 runs is plenty on most nights.
