Hansack, (or anybody) should have came in instead. I thought the Sox actually had the game, until timlin stepped out of the bullpen. wow Timlin is a complete disaster, and is now proving it on a cosistent basis.

But last night there was an opportunity for Tito to have his guys bunt in at least three different innings (all late) and the Sox could have scored without the benefit of a hit to win the game. I think some managers forget that bunting is a part of the game...they act like they're allergic to bunting. We could have and should have won that game a long time before Timlin got his chance to blow it.

Strikes turned into balls and vice versa. The umpires didn’t help things, but at least they were consistently bad with both TB and Boston. Strikes turned into balls and vice versa.
