Two reasons the sox are slumping

Jason Varitek: has to be the most over rated player on the team.
I am so sick of how great he handles the pitchers.
The guy is just about hitting his weight is and has been a automatic out from mid season last yeay to now

Trot Nixon: although is numbers are good, he just don't do it in the clutch, the guy is a rally killer

Don't froget to crap on Boston's bullpen. Their starters ERA ranked something like 25th in the Majors and some of their releivers look like they played for the Bad News Bears. Timlin is still rehabing and Wells is more than likely done for the season. One bright spot has been the continual success of Papelbon.

If nothing else, his bat would be a nice addition to the lineup!!!!

How far back do you think the Sox would be without Papelbon?
Not enough superlatives to discribe his game so far.
Mike Lowell too, he would be the starting 3rd baseman for the AL allstar team if it were not for A-Rod .

About time teck got a hit,he did hit into a dp to kill the first rally and almost hit into the second but got lucky on the fielders chose.
A good win we needed it
Schilling pitched good just 3 bad pitches for hr's.

They proved my point, Varitek had a a good game Friday the Sox won.
Nixion, provied most of the offence and was awsome last night
Wake pitched a very good game,and Papelbon was Papelbon

Thats easy of active players Ichiro in RF.and Ramone Herandez catching.
I know it ani't happing but thats my picks.
As far as first place in June it means jack, October is were it counts.
Thats why every game is important.

My guess is that you would then rip Ichiro for not having the necessary power for a RF, and Hernandez for calling a terrible game. But as my wife tells me, I'm usually wrong.

Do you actually think anyone on this team, besides Papelbon and Lowell, is doing an adequate job?

Ichrio, now thats funny what has he almost 90 hits this season? That says it all. The man makes contact and don't look bad at the plate.
If Nixion was so great why would they have Willy Moe before he got hurt playing aginest leftys?
Teck has the 14th best batting avgage of AL catchers, that's last.
Over all I am happy with the team the defense is the best the Sox have ever had so far.
