Sox Aren’t Looking Good

This season for the Red Sox so far has been pretty darn bad, verging on terrible (if it isn’t already there). The only team that’s doing worse in the AL east is the Baltimore Orioles, who are 2 and 11 (that’s 2 wins 11 losses for all you non-sports fans) versus the Red Sox 4 and 8 record. They just can’t seem to hit and a key part of that problem is David Ortiz. Ever since Manny Ramirez left a couple of years ago he just hasn’t been the same dominant force that he used to be. I have a feeling that when Ramirez left he took a little piece of Ortiz with him. The Red Sox pitching, though, is another story, starting with Becket. You can argue all you want, but something is wrong with him. Like Ortiz, he just isn’t as dominant and good as he was a couple of years ago, and it’s just going downhill. Right now one of their best pitcher’s is John Lackey, a new addition to the team this year. Speaking of new additions, that could be another reason why the Red Sox are not doing so hot. They have almost a whole new infield and a new center fielder. The team just needs to bond a little bit more with the new additions and maybe things will pick up. Last year the Red Sox weren’t doing to well at the beginning of the season either, but then things started to go better as the season went on. That being said, I still have the utmost faith in the Red Sox.
