All Knotted Up

Folks... the good will has been spent.

Three of the last four games have been teeth grinders. And that doesn't include five games ago when the Red Sox blew an early 4-0 lead!

It's official... the Red Sox have squandered as many games as they have stolen.

And if this club has any ambitions of actually winning a pennant... they had better start causing some other fan base to grind THEIR teeth!

Let's update the tally board.

DODGED A BULLET GAMES - 5

April 17 - 10-8 win against Orioles. (Overcame 7-0 deficit.)

April 24 - 5-4 win against Yankees. (Bay homers off of Rivera in 9th to tie it.)

April 25 - 16-11 win against Yankees. (Overcame 6-0 deficit.)

April 29 - 6-5 win at Cleveland. (Overcame 5-0 deficit.)

May 12 - 4-3 win at Anaheim. (Down 3-1 in the 8th.)

TEETH GRINDER GAMES - 5

April 14 - 6-5 loss at Oakland. (Sox blow early 3-0 lead. Lose in 12)

April 28 - 9-8 loss at Cleveland. (Sox blow early 5-1 lead. Lopez drops 3rd out.)
May 14 - 5-4 loss at Anaheim. (Ortiz goes 0-7 stranding 12 runners.)
May 15 - 5-4 loss at Seattle. (Red Sox blow their second 4-0 lead in three days.)

May 17 - 3-2 loss at Seattle. (Red Sox strand two in the 9th. Lose in the bottom of the 9th.)

We are at PAR! The first place Blue Jays come to town on Tuesday. Either we start gaining some ground or we will all start hearing people compare the Jays to last year's Rays.

And I am NOT LIKING THAT!!!
