| Despite facing the powewerless Rays at Fenway, the Sox are held quiet and lose their third straight game by only scoring one run and grounding into three inning-ending doubleplays that could have easily changed the score. Why do I say powerless Rays? Including today's game, the Rays have a team batting average of only .168 and have scored 16 runs in their 10 games. Their leadoff hitter today, Sam Fuld, entered the game with a hitless season (0 for 22 so far this season). What does Fuld do? Leads off the game with a single, and steals second and third along with adding a single his next time up. How Tampa has won four of their last five games is beyond me. |
