Sox 3, Rays 1: Let's Zap Kazmir
So Tim Wakefield continues his good start to the season and passes Cy Young - of all people - on the all-time Sox K list. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Admittedly I couldn't stay up past the 1st inning (these 2.05 am starts kill me), so I was worried about Wake's initial jitters...
Kazmir (who's one of those "guys on other teams that I'm a fan of"), meanwhile, is actually shaping up pretty decently. To give up 3 runs in 5 innings to the stacked Sox lineup isn't too shabby. Just needs more control.
Therein lies the Sox's potential Achilles heel (well, besides actual Schillingesque injuries to the heel): I feel like a good lefty could stymie the lineup. Fortunately, Renteria adds some lefty hitting, as his long homer today showed.

Sorry, wasn't clear - I meant Renteria adds some ability to hit lefty pitching, whereas the Sox are stacked with left-handers and switchhitters which gives the lineup issues with lefty pitchers - Trot comes to mind.
