Well, that just sort of generally sucked. At least Penny wasn't so bad. Penny seems to be a creature of habit. He's got himself a nice little pattern going: 6 innings, 3 runs; 3 innings, 8 runs; 6 innings, 3 runs; 2.2 innings, 7 runs; and 6 innings, 3 runs. Unfortunately, his next start (against Tampa) will probably end up being 2.1 innings, 6 runs.
If there's anyone out there who could right the ship, anyone would can bring the necessary mojo to beat the Yankees and bring the team back to Fenway with a winning road trip, that person would be Dave Roberts. And just in time, Mr. Roberts--a man who has had fabulous timing in the past--will be making his NESN debut tomorrow. 5:30, in front of your t.v. Be there. I will.
