As Steve’s headline from last night’s game recap says, the Red Sox left a small village on the bases. 14 runners were left on base by the Red Sox loss last night to the Devil Rays. Dice-K pitched really well last night with one mistake. A fastball left up to B.J. Upton that he hit out for a 2-run homer. That was all the runs the D’Rays could score. As the Red Sox continue not to give Dice-K run support, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston and Tampa area media on this Thursday in Red Sox Nation.
