>Yeah. After the last 2 games against the Jays, tell me about it. The trouble is that Boston has no weak spots in their lineup. There is no batter a pitcher can feel comfortable with. And at bat or in the field, they are all playing like demons. You get the feeling that running through walls to make a play doesn't get a second thought.

>I saw tonight's box score and thought of you....ouch, 16-4! I noticed that one of Toronto's infielders wound up pitching the ninth. That's when you know things are bad. I see Bautista hasn't clubbed one in 13 games, but I'm sure he'll still hit 45-50 or more this year.
Especially when they were so close the day before only losing 5-1. 18 runs against in 2 games! And Mike McCoy (2nd Base) is now in the record books as a pitcher with an era of 0.00. Yay Mike. He got a standing ovation.
Bautista's timing is off. He says he's figured out the problem; he's loading too late, but he hasn't got it fixed yet. Even though he's not homering, he's still hitting.

>I agree, Boston's entire lineup from top to bottom is dangerous. Ortiz and Gonzalez are on fire. I remember when they got off to the rough start, the media was ready to count them out. I figured they'd come back but I didn't count on them being this hot.

>Boston and Philly play 3 in Philly at the end of the month. I just checked the pitching schedules. Barring any rainouts or pitching rotation changes, here are the pitching matchups:

>Clay Buchholz vs Cliff Lee
>John Lackey vs Roy Oswalt
>Jon Lester vs Cole Hamels

>Philly won't get to send Doc on the mound, but hopefully Philly can still take 2 of 3. Cliff Lee looked pretty good today.
It should be a hell of a series.
