MENDOZAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Anyone who thinks that we don't need another starter, think again, and continue to think until you agree with me.

TB D-Rays 15
Boston RS 9
W: Zambrano (7-5)
L: MENDOZAAAAAAAAAAA (3-4)
H: Colome (7)

Magic Number: 66
Wrapup & Box Score

Horrible pitching. No complaints about the offense except the absense of Gabe Kapler. They mad a valiant comeback effort but the bullpen wasn't able to keep the D-Rays at a reasonable lead.

The Man of the Game is Damian Rolls who made an amazing catch, went 3 for 5 with a double, a homerun, 2 runs and 5 RBI. Here are the MOTG standings after 38 awarded:

1. Nomar - 5
2. PEDRO, Nixon, Millar, Varitek - 3
6. Manny, Mueller, R. Halladay (TOR) - 2
9. Lowe, Walker, Kapler, Burkett, Sanchez, Rupe, Lyon, D. Rolls (TB) M. Mussina (NYY), A. Pettitte (NYY) J. Crede (CWS), E. Loiza (CWS), JD Drew (StL), B. Myers (PHI), J. Pierre (FLA) - 1

Now for the Bitch-Goat. I think we all know who will get a majority share of the not-so-coveted BG. Mendoza will get 0.5 BG points for his very poor outing. Fox also dissapointed and so he shall receive 0.3 points. Timlin and Jones didn't do much to help and allowed the D-Rays to drastically reduce the chances of a Red Sox comeback. Here are the BG standings:

1. Lyon - 1.0
2. Manny - 0.9
3. Timlin, Lowe, Walker - 0.6
6. Mendoza, Jones - 0.5
8. Rupe, Jones, Kim - 0.4
11. Fox, Millar, Varitek, Grady - 0.3
15. Varitek, Millar, Nomar, Burkett - 0.2
19. Mueller, Seanez, Shiell, Ortiz, Jackson, Damon, Fossum - 0.1

The BG is relatively new which means that it does not accurately reflect the entire season. If it did, I'm sure Mendoza or Fox would be #1.

Should Todd Jones be used two innings at a time? I don't think he should. He is a former closer and I think he should be used primarily as a one inning set-up man with Sauerbeck being his oppossitte to get out lefties.

Tomorrow, a preview of the Sox-Y*nkees series. By the by, the Y*nkees lost to Baltimore so the scum come into town 2.5 up on us. If we sweep...........Nuf Said.
