I am worried about Smoltz. This has to end, for a while at least. He has to figure out what the hell is wrong.
8 starts, no quality starts. 6 starts where he's given up 5 runs or more.
It's a garaunteed loss every 5th day.

.....And he hasn't been looking good, as his ERA continues to creep upwards.

It means nothing the pitch at Pedroia, the Red Sox need a win and they need focus on that nothing else.

burnett is known for backing up his batters too. i can't imagine either team wanting shenanigans this series.
Smoltz has to be done as a starter after last night. I can see him being used in middle relief, but Tito has to get him out of the rotation. The Sox just don't look like a playoff team right now. Hopefully they'll get a win tonight and at least split the series so they don't lose any more ground in the East.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

The Rangers are only 2 games behind the Sox in the wildcard race and look more like a playoff team right now.

He's in all likelihood done. The only possiblity might be Atlanta claims him so he can retire a Brave. It's a shame Smoltz will go into the HOF the year after Maddux & Glavine (provided Glavine doesn't pitch again)

Agreed, would have been nice if the three of them could have gone in together.
Actually would have been better if he was good this year.
Oh well.

Between the Ortiz situation, losing 2 13+ inning games to division rivals in a week, the end of Smoltz and being down 0-3 to the Yanks this series, this has to be one of the worst weeks for the Sox in quite some time.

they ARE still in the lead for the wild card ... it's not like they fell 6 games back for that.
I can guarantee no one in the central is going to catch the Sox for the wild card. It's a pretty pathetic division this season.
That said, I still hope the Tigers can put a hurt on the Sox at Fenway this week... but I won't be holding my breath.

I'm watching this documentary on Luis Tiant called *The Lost Son Of Havana*. His first return to Cuba in 46 years.
I loved LT and his pitching style from back in the 70's with the Red Sox. I saw him pitch on 2 occasions and he won both.

I saw some of the previews for that, looks like a tear jerker. Even Luis was getting misty watching just the previews. I'm sure ESPN will be showing it again, I'll have to catch that.
I was a little too young to enjoy the Red Sox Tiant years, but loved watching the highlights. His stlye was like Marichal's in that it was so damn unique.
oh, and ... good win for the Sox tonight. They needed a little home cookin'.

It's a tear jerker for sure cause I KNOW exactly what he's going through when your family from your home country hasn't seen you in years.

Tough loss from my perspective. But it was a good game to watch. After those first 2 innings, I thought things would get pretty ugly and one-sided. But both teams kept battling. Fun to see a lot of solid baseball... sacrifices, moving runners, driving in runs. The Tigers missed a few opportunities with lots of runners on and those two pop fouls to the catcher were killer. Here's hoping they come back strong tomorrow.
Magglio goign 3 for 3 was worth the loss though. If he can get back to form, this team might start looking as strong as it should have been all season.

The white sox went out and got Alex Rios for more of an offensive boost, I think he'll do well in that park. Well, he better do well for my fantasy team. nearly 2 months left, it's going to be interesting.

I'm getting chills watching this stuff seeing Fenway from back then 72' 73' 74' 75'. Something i didn't know about LT and that is when he first came up he threw fastballs up to 98 mph.
Now That I didn't know when he was with the Indians. As a youth I can remember wondering what was that stuff he had in his mouth it was HUGE.

Not only did Yuk charge the mound when he probably shouldn't, but he threw his helmet (fine+more suspension days), and ended up on his back without getting a punch in!
Pretty pathetic mound charge if you ask me!!
If you are going to make a point and get susupended, at least make it worth your time!
