the key to your assessment is the "for him" part. The guy can't get past six innings, when he is given a lead he immediately gives it back and when he does actually throw six innings and have a lead we fawn on him because he's conditioned us to expect him to blow up. He blows and if their rotation wasn't so damn sorry there is no way he would be on the playoff roster, unfortunately their rotation is that sorry that he may not only make the post season roster, but have to be one of the top 3.

I really am not a big fan of this roster. In addition to the starting pitching problems I am really getting tired of watching Teixeira hit .248. It would be nice if he could raise that average to something that might be considered respectable for a guy being paid $23 million per to hit.

Notwithstanding that they have the second best record in baseball, I really don't see how they are going to make any noise in the playoffs constructed the way they are.   But then again I didn't foresee the Red Sox keeling over dead either.
