    I just saw him bounce into a double-play to end the game with the tying run standing on third. Otherwise, he had a pretty solid night. In fairness to Carl, he should never have been in that position.

    Bard has 4 of our 9 bullpen losses this year.

    He has also made 24 appearances so far, which is double what any other reliever besides Papelbon has. He's being overused right now, and they are starting to rest him a bit.

    Sox up 14-0 on the Indians today. Lester pitched well, but was removed after 6 to save his arm, I suppose.

    Most fans here aren't, but this shirt just cracks me up. Especially because there's just as many Red Sox bandwagoners.

    How crappy is the rest of the AL? Started out 2-10 and they already have the lead in the Wild Card and it's not even June.

    And the terrible start is officially erased completely. First place!

    Tonights Red Sox / Tigers game will not be televised due to ESPN's exclusivity rights to Sunday Night Baseball. So in other words, we are stuck with a shitty game instead of getting to see Beckett vs. Verlander.

    Looks like ESPN granted a waiver because the game will now air on NESN tonight

    The only person on Boston that can't wait for June to get here is Lester.

    I wonder if he mentioned anything about that in his last Twitter post.

    I'm not upset or disappointed by this news.

    This sucks. He was pitching lights out until he hurt his elbow. Hopefully he comes back strong next year.

    Yesterday's game pissed me off. Pedroia booted a possible game ending double play. The two ejection. But they got the win. They have played 5 ugly games in a row.

    If he's really getting TJS, he won't be back next year, and I doubt the Sox try to resign him after his contract is up.

    He could come back in August depending on how the rehab goes.
