A Revoltin' Development

One out of four ain't bad, right? Wrong. There's really nothing like losing 3 games (two of which were blowouts) to the worst offense in the American League. A tough extra-inning loss, the implosion of our young ace in waiting, and an inning-long brain fart from the stopgap starter all helped hack and slash the Sox' lead in the AL East to a mere 1/2 game. So, who's up next? The Kansas City Royals.

Normally, I feel like most of us would clap our hands and rub them together excitedly about the prospect of welcoming Baseball's Joke Franchise into the Fens for the 3 game series, but with the way the Sox have been playing it's difficult to maintain that optimism unabated.
The bats seem to have finally his the skids in this last series, which really is an unfortunate development.

So what are our silver linings? Well, there are two. First, David Wells may be able to begin minor league rehab starts sometime within the next two weeks, and second, Wily Mo Peña will likely be rejoining the club tomorrow. And me with a softball doubleheader. Sheesh.
