First Tim Wakefield allowed three earned runs in three straight starts.
Then he allowed four earned runs in four straight starts.
Last time out, he gave up five earned. Sensing a pattern? I certainly hope not.
The Red Sox have had chance after chance to secure their lead in the playoff race. The mark was set at 1-of-3 games in the last series, and this time 2-of-4. After winning Beckett's start, they just had to win Lester vs. Niemann.
Well, they didn't, and now they need to take Wakefield vs. Price, and with a rather messy looking lineup to boot.
Miracle, please!
Go Sox!
