Where's the O?

Today Josh Beckett struck out 13 in seven innings. He gave up two runs, but the Red Sox got shut down by James Shields and the Tampa Bay Rays. OK, baseball gods, you've proven that the Red Sox are not unstoppable - now give me back my offense.

Christine feels OK about her squad despite today's loss against the Pirates. The Phillies finished their road trip 5-2 and hopefully have turned a corner.

At least we did our part for charity today.

Administrative notes: Sorry for the brevity on the blog last week. It may be worse this week, but then we'll be back to normal. Hopefully the Sox are also back to normal by then.
