Can We Just Cut The Shit Already?

Interleague is over, thank christ. The Sox just defeated the Houston Astros 2-1 on the back of a dominate start from Josh Beckett, sweeping the series and winning four in a row to end the nine day road trip. As a whole they finished Interleague play 10-8. How? I have no fucking idea. They played like shit, threw out abysmal lineups, didn't hit with runners in scoring position, and for the most part they pitched pretty mediocre. But I think this just goes to show how shitty the National league is, the sox for the most part played poorly and still came out on top. The Phillies are a great team and will probably be there at the end in October but San Diego and Houston belong in triple A. Pittsburgh is solid but no way they should have taken two of three from the sox. Shit, I guess that says more about the Sox than anything. I know nothing anymore, up is down, down is up. How the fuck do you lose two of three to both San Diego and Pittsburgh. Interleague sucks so bad.

Lack-Diesel Takes Mound, Sucks

As God pissed on the Fenway Faithful, Sox pitcher John Lackey took the mound raring to go and promptly served up a long ball to give the Padres an early 1-0 lead. A few rain delays later and Lackey would hand the Padres four more runs and the win. As usual Lackey was quick to take responsibility, oh wait no he didn't. In what has become a constant refrain Lackey took none of the blame, explaining in a postgame presser that he thought he pitched well, just a couple of lucky hits that dropped. Lackey has become the new Dice-K, sparkling in one outing and terrible in another. Also like Dice-K he is stubborn and refuses to acknowledge when he's awful, the closest Lackey has come was in an unusual outburst in the Sox lockerroom where the hurler whined "Everything in my life sucks right now" and promptly stormed off. Yeah, Lackey's not great, but it's not his fault some dick saw this turd and offered it $82.5 million guaranteed.

Aceves Shows Why He Belongs in the Bullpen

Spot starter Alfredo Aceves was a key factor in the Sox loss tonight as he walked 5 consecutive Padres with two outs in the 2nd inning, the Sox ended up losing 5-4. It's worth noting though that it's only the Sox' 4th loss in the month of June.

Sox Dismantle Padres

The Sox exploded in the seventh inning coasting to an easy 14-5 win when it looked like it'd be a tight one.It's their sixth game of scoring 10+ runs in June. Not too bad.

Papi Has 7 Minute At Bat

David Ortiz just had a seven minute battle with Padres pitcher Wade LeBlanc before finally depositing the ball in short left and plating Dustin Pedroia. Sox lead 1-0 in the bottom of the first.
