Wells

I really am upset about this Wells guy. He can hardly pitch. The guy gave up seven runs last night without a strikeout. He did not make it out of the first inning. This guy is really a liability. When the Sox first signed him, and I heard the news, I said 'Oh no.' That's not a lie. If you've been paying attention here, you know I don't like him. Of course, my boy Clement didn't do so hot in his last start either, but Wells is really stinking it up. Is this the guy we want starting game 2 of the ALCS for us? Look at the 2003 ALCS and what he did for the Yankees before you answer that.
And speaking of the Yankess, they have crushed everybody they've faced in the past ten days. They are killing people. I never thought that they would cover so much space in so little time. Meanwhile, Boston is 5-5 during the Yank's ten game win streak. That puts us three and a half behind the O's and only two up on the Yankees. If Wells continues to pitch, I seriously think that we might not make the playoffs at all. Not the way the Twins and other Sox are playing. If you look at what we have done so far this year, do we even deserve to be in the playoffs?
Look, here's the rotation that will get us into the playoffs: Schilling, Miller, Arroyo, Wake, Clement. That's it. With Clement as the best fifth starter in baseball, we got ourselves a starting rotation. I feel a helluva lot better with that than with Schilling, Wells, Clement, Wake, Arroyo. Clement is a mediocre number three guy and Wells arguably the worst number two lefty in the game. The way Bronson's been going, how can you put him into the bullpen? Probably Wake'll go. But really, I think we should just eat Wells' $8 mill for this year and give him time to get ready for September. Maybe it's his back and he needs the time off.
This weekend: Let's go Mets.
