After a 4-2 start to a long road trip, the Red Sox ran into a big roadblock in Seattle and were swept by the Mariners. Dice-K was outstanding again but unfortunately the normally capable bullpen faltered. Coco Crisp is continuing his hot streak at the plate while Julio Lugo is just absolutely atrocious at the plate right now. The Sox are off today after 10 days of being away from home and Tim Wakefield will hit the hill for the Sox on Friday. With all that being said, let’s take a look at what the Boston area and Seattle media had to say about yesterday’s game.
Down the Farm will go up in a few hours as I will be back later in the day as I have to go take some stupid 3-6 hour test. Test got canceled after i got there.
