Apr. 5th, 2008 02:46 pmThe Red Sox lost last night. Wakefield, I hate to say this, is starting to look old. He has traditionally pitched well at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, but he just didn't have good stuff last night.
Today, Clay Buchholz is pitching, and looking pretty good (for the most part). But the fielding is somewhat lackluster behind him, and I'm afraid Sean Casey (in his first start this year) made a critical error in the bottom of the 4th.
This has allowed the Blue Jays to pull ahead, 4-2.
Much of the Jays' rallying has been prompted by their new shortstop, David Eckstein. "Eck" was the World Series MVP for the Cardinals in 2006, and was also the spark behind the Angels' only World Series win in 2002. You would think that consistently batting around .300, stealing on a regular basis, and fielding up a storm would prompt teams to keep him. But he's only 5'7", and looks like a shrimp next to most other players. In football, quarterback Doug Flutie had the same image problem.
Anyway, the Red Sox are still down by the same score in the top of the 6th. They look dead on their feet, as if that trip to Tokyo to start the season still hasn't worn off.
At least, I hope that's what the problem is.
[Edit:] And in the bottom of the 6th, the bullpen fell apart. Toronto now leads 10-2. Meanwhile, the Devil Rays are beating the last-place Yankees 6-1.
