Sox Fizz on Carpet
I don’t care if it’s lava, two wins and ten losses on any surface won’t be defending any titles. Why is this team so inept on the fake stuff? The most obvious answer is infield defense. I don’t think that’s the case here, but there are many reasons: travel schedules, pitching woes, bullpen hiccups and stronger opponents. Unfortunately they caught the Blue Jays playing their best, the Rays looking formidable, and the Twins as hot as they’ll be all season. This will even out, right?
The Rays won their fifth straight to close the gap in the AL East to a mere half game. Matt Garza looked strong, and Andy Pettitte looked old. The Bronx Bums are killing the Red Sox, even in their mediocrity. At what point do we start rooting for the Yankees? Soon.
Hey, road struggles are common among Boston teams in the spring. The Red Sox are still in first, however barely, and the Celtics have home court advantage. This is why all those regular season wins were so important. It was a bad weekend, but things could be much, much worse.
Edit: I called them the “Devil” Rays. Save your breath, Secular Rays.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Colon is ready.
