Smith and Grissom have been two big drags in the lineup so far, neither of them distinguishing themselves in any way.  Grissom is supposed to be a solid y oung player so it is strange that he has looked so crappy both in the field and especially at the bat. Smith failed miserably with the Mets and on two other teams he has played for so the question is why the heck is this guy even with our team.  Do we keep  taking other teams' failures?

[Schloicka]

Sox win 5-4 in 12 innings. Good come from behind win.

[Sea Dog 23]

A real head scratcher for Sox fans.  Some good offense.  Devers and Ceddane had some interesting moments trying to make plays.  Dom Smith got his bat going finally.  I did not know that McGuire had that strong of an arm.
