Possible rain out.

[Sea Dog 23]

The Sox pitching could use a rain out.  Cora has over-used Winchowski.  And the old guys at the back end could use another day off.

This game went south in a hurry. Free game, so I tuned in just in time to watch a 5-3 lead turn into a 7-5 deficit. Nice going, Martin.

Looking like a repeat of last year when the Sox had trouble winning at Fenway.

[longgame]

This guy Campbell decided if he could throw some soft pitches in the heart of the plate that he could get major league hitters out.  What a disaster.  I was shocked they left him in.  Then the meltdowns between Martin and Wong just gave the game away.

Don't know what to make of these guys just yet.  ESPN had them #9 in their power rankings.  It seems like they have a better rotation then I expected, the bullpen has some real holes. Offense is hit or miss, but I'd like to hope that they get it going and it is still early in the season.  Funny to have a "must-win" game this early!
