We're 19 games into the season, six games behind a studly Rays team in the AL East (4.5 behind the Yanks), and we're rolling out a Triple A type lineup tonight:
1-Scutaro SS,
2-Pedroia 2B,
3-Youkilis 1B,
4-Lowell 3B,
5-Drew RF,
6-Varitek C,
7-Beltre 3B,
8-Hall LF,
9-McDonald CF
I know a lot of it is out of Tito's control, but still, I never thought a 170 million dollar payroll could look similar to the Pirates lineup.
Some additional numbers to consider as you watch the Bruins instead of the Sox tonight:
-Adrian Beltre leads the team with a .286 average (with 0 taters)
-Pedey leads the team with 5 taters (Tek is alone in second with 4)
-Pedey also leads the team with 13 RBI
-Buchholz has the best era at 2.70
-The Sox are on pace to give up 1892 stolen bases (ok, that's not true, but they're going to shatter the record either way).
-The defensive upgrades of Scutaro and Beltre already have three errors a piece
-The Sox are 5-8 at friendly Fenway
-I'll end it with some optimism....Lars Anderson is currently batting .328 with 5 taters and 18 rbi for Portland
Go Bruins, I mean, Go Sox...

I feel like I'm watching a video game match up of RBI Baseball 1998 right now. This came can't be real life.
Such a joke. Even if the Sox win, no one can be happy with this.
Also, who is going to be the first one to pick up Tek in their fantasy leagues? Do it.
