What doth Wrong with the BoSox?

Suddenly a team which was running up the score at a record rate and tearing through the American League like a finger through wet toilet paper can't score against some of the most anemic offenses and defenses in the incredibly weak National League. Thus far this season, the Red Sox are an unimpressive 5-5 in interleague play. This team should be obliterating the weaker teams fielded by their older counterparts, yet just when it seems they should be running away with the division they've allowed the New York Yankees to creep within a 1/2 game of their position and have only posted a .500 record in their last ten games. While there's clearly no reason to sound the alarm on this team just yet it is worth noting that the Red Sox appear to be losing steam as injuries take their toll on the starting rotation and the outfield and their inability to capitalize on scoring oppurtunities isn't a good sign.
