For whatever reason, Kazmir has the Red Sox's number. I don't think Schilling's comment on the radio the other day helped matters, i.e. gave Kazmir a little extra incentive.
As for the Red Sox lineup, you know there are a lot of weak holes in it right now. The biggest being Manny. He needs to step it up. Frickin' Johnny Gomes has 7 dingers, Bronson Arroyo has TWO! ManRam has ZERO!!! Crisp out of the lineup really hurts because while Youk is doing great at the top of the lineup, he'd be better off in the 6-hole. Tek is absolutely stinking at the plate so far this year. Wily Mo is proofing to be pathetic at the plate and in the field, talk about Dr. StrangeGlove. Makes Sam Horn look like a gold glover. Loretta, Youk, Big Papi, Nixon are proving to be the only reliable ones so far. That's too many holes. Lowell's so-so and Gonzo's been clutch but over-all pretty ineffective. Thank god for great pitching so far. Here in Tampa, the announcers talked alot about the Big Papi extreme 3-4 'shift'. I really don't understand why he doesn't practice lay down 'bunts' to the left side to get on base. Do it a few times and eventually they'll move the shift back a little bit. Especially if Manny gets hot and start making it a two-run homer "bunt". The Rays definitely are better than in years past. Their pitching is still weak (starting, middle and closing), and they've been hit with a number of injuries (Lugo, Rocco, Huff, etc...). They're definitely NOT the pushovers they were in years past. In fact, I'm their biggest fan when they face the Yucks next week. :) The Royals, ewww....Now there's a bad team. In fact if I had to pick one word to describe them I'd use....Is craphole one word or two? It's one word, if I hyphenate it? Ok, I'll stick wiith crap-hole. I just hope the Royals don't start winning when they go up against the Bosox (just my luck). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:205076 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
