The arm must be getting a little sore from throwing such a tough pitch over the years.

            The conditions in NY were cold and muggy, he wasn't able to get a good grip on the ball, and for "feel" pitchers that's death. Especially when your FB is topping in the high 80's to low 90's

                    I think the Sox will be fine....Now if they got swept by Toronto then i'd be worried.

                            I didnt really like the Wells signing but Miller and Clement may actually be more reliable than the Pedro-Clement combo. Wells, though. I can still remember his time in Chicago in 2001...what a tool. Anyway, he seems to only do well when hes with certain teams. Maybe going against the Yankees on the first game is not a good guage but still, I didnt like this signing when it happened and still do not.

                                            There is more reason for worry than people think imo. I didn't notice the impact of the losses of Lowe and Pedro until I heard those stats during the game. Something like Pedro and Lowe combined have the most wins out of any duo in the past 3 years I think. And I do know that I heard that Lowe won all of the series enders.

                                                    honestly, that pissed me off. IMO i think they should have let varitek walk and try to sign pedro and lowe.

                                                        Pedro also had a 3.90 ERA last year and Lowe had an ERA close to five and a half and both wanted 10 million plus per year to stay in Boston. The Red Sox FO doesn't regret losing both pitchers and neither should the fans.

                                                            As a Red Sox Fan, how could you say you'd rather have Pedro/Lowe than Varitek?

                                                            That'd be like a Pats fan syaing they'd rather have Ty law than teddy Bruschi.
