Red Sox 1
Blue Jays 6

When the lineup card flashed onto my screen, I had a feeling it might be “one of those nights”.

As bad as Varitek has been at the plate, he dwarfs Kevin Cash, who very well might be the worst MLB hitter in my lifetime.  The same can be said for the downgrade of Julio Lugo to Alex Cora.  Lugo has had a decent 2nd half, while Cora’s stock has plummeted.  And then you have Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis out of the lineup.

This, in tandem with an unhealthy Wakefield (back), is a sure-fire recipe for a loss.

The lead in the AL East is down to 3.5 games, and things are getting interesting.  All we can do is hope that Ramirez and Youkilis are set to return soon.  The latest news on Manny, from tonight’s broadcast, is that he might miss another week.

Not good.
