Re: Boston Red Sox - 2011 & Beyond --- OOTP 12

Uncharacteristic pitching from Beckett. Hopefully Dice-K gets you back on track before it becomes a real losing streak.

He and the other starters (Lester & Lackey) did well in the series and we swept the Cubs. This now gives us a .500+ winning percentage at Fenway (15-13). We sit only two games back from those guys in pinstripes and it looks to be a tight race between at least three teams in the AL East, with us being one of them. Injuries have started to creep in as Aceves is lost for the season and Crawford has hurt knee that should keep him out of the lineup at the start of our road trip against the tribe.
