So few games, yet already so much FAIL! When they're hitting, they're not pitching. When they're pitching, they're not hitting. Who are these guys and where are the REAL Red Sox? They look like listless pod-people, especially at the plate. Beckett, while not economical by any stretch of the imagination, has given the Sox the best start so far, only allowing 3 runs on 5 hits and no balls left the yard. The bullpen's been impressive too, providing 3 scoreless relief innings after Beckett labored through 5. The "vaunted" and very expensive offense went to sleep after Saturday night's game and hasn't woken up yet, despite the off-day and change of venue. Each inning, they keep pressing the snooze button. They're perfecting the art of grounding into the double play (someone ought to remind Tito of the existence of the hit and run or the takeout slide, anything to shake them out of the zombie-esque rollover twin-killing groundout). Frustrated with this team? You bet! Wake up, 2011 Red Sox! The season has started and the games count now! For real!
