Matt Holliday was going to get a deal from our Sox before we got Lackey, but it was going to be a big deal for Mr. H. We had hoped that we would get to see Holliday on the Fenway field, but it didn’t work out that way. It’s not that we’re having so much trouble with the pitching, but this is the division where you want to keep your team extra strong to be able to compete with the Yankees, so I can see why Lackey was needed. I read something the other day where they were lamenting that we and the Yankees are looking likely to take the division and wild card for a lot of time in the future. Well, that’s what happens when the teams are that good. I won’t say that the Yankees are good, but the Red Sox are amazing. With their new pitcher and some good new hitting, they’re looking like they’ll be even more impressive this year!
