Game Twenty Five: Call Them Fish Our Daddy

To paraphrase the great Pedro J. Martinez, I guess we just have to call the Devil Rays our Daddy.

Boston finished up a downright emetic weekend series with the mighty Rays, dropping a 5-3 decision in Tampa today. Brad Penny was very un-Brad Pennyish, turning in a downright adequate six innings, but the usually dependable bullpen surrendered two more runs while the "Too Little, Too Late" offense came up with a few more tallies to make the score respectable.

What a disaster.

Tomorrow, Boston heads into Gotham for their first visit to the New Yankee Stadium (aka Coors Field East) (aka the Empty Cash Drawer) for a series with the Evil Empire. Jon Lester takes on Phil Hughes in the opener.
