What a mess. They win eight straight after the All-Star game, get real close to the Rays, and have now lost 7 of 10. Truthfully, they even got lucky on Sunday when they beat the Angels with 10 unearned runs. That should have been a loss, too. There has been very little clutch hitting, especially from the middle of the lineup. But in fairness to the offense, they have scored quite a few runs the last few nights and have still lost. It's a mess.
Plus, Joba's visiting that big arm/shoulder specialist today, which often means something very bad is happening. If he's out, they're probably done. The only good news is Nady. What a great pickup. And frankly, I wasn't that impressed with the Angels last weekend. Everybody wants to hand them the pennant. Scr-ew that. They're a bit overrated and can be beat.
I won't bail on them yet. It would not surprise me at all if they rattled off five or six wins in a row and looked great again, but this see-saw is getting frustrating. Oh ... and while the Sox are getting blasted by some for ditching Manny, I agree it had to be done, and few are talking about how the guy they picked up from Pittsburgh is excellent. He had four more hits last night. In the long run, it was a great move for them.
Any thoughts?

Nady has been huge.
