[align=center]Texas win while RedSox pitching struggles yet again Top - Ellsbury steals second successfully in the first inning before being picked off the very next play Bottom - Pedroia makes a diving stop over at second to end the inning and to stop Texas from scoring Top - Hamilton slides in safely at home to score in the first inning Bottom - Blalock drills the first of his two homeruns to deep center field Boxscore Game 19 Vs Texas[/align]

Yea my original idea was to wait till about mid may but im not sure if i want to wait that long so end of april sounds good and calling up Clay wouldn't be a good idea as at the minute he has a ERA over 8 and my next choice of Masterson has an ERA over 8 as well so i don't know what to do

What should i do with my pitching rotation? They have struggled all year and so im wondering what everyone would do. Would you guys send people down for a while and call up some young pitchers or maybe bare with it till it turns around?

Thanks man. It should get even better later into the season

I don't know if i want to risk any more bad starts because im already 2 games behind a Rays team that have the talent to run away with the division. I might give it one more start and then call up Buchholz or Masterson to replace him

I couldn't believe how bad Pettitte was but it was closer for a time than the final score shows because once again Dice-K was horrible. I have no idea what im going to do with him. I might send him down for a couple of weeks and hope he bounces back.

[align=center]RedSox walk away with a mini sweep from New York leaving the Yankees bottom of the AL East Top - Crisp singles in the first inning, the only hit given up by Pettitte Bottom - Pedroia makes a diving stop to end the second inning Top - Cano turns on one and drives it to right field for a two run shot Bottom - Jeter stares at strike three against Okajima Boxscore Game 17 @ Yankees[/align]

[align=center]RedSox overcome the Yankees in an extra innings pitching duel Top - Pedoria gets the first hit of the game with a double in the fourth Bottom - Casey shows that it's not just Youkilis that can play D at 1st base with a diving stop in the sixth Top - Jeter puts up the only run on the board for the Yankees with a homerun to right field to lead off the bottom of the fourth Bottom - Matsui strikes out to end the game in the tenth off of Papelbon Boxscore Game 16 @ Yankees[/align]

Yea, Francisco seems to be a player that is going to dominate me all year. There are always odd players that seem to do really well against me but after those two games against him, im going to treat him with a little more care next time i face the Indians. Well i'm alot better than Theo at pulling off deals so i will actually get something worthwhile for Manny without giving up a first round draft pick and a very good OF as well. Thats if i deal Manny at all. I've got till the deadline to decide so who knows. :p

Thanks, Hopefully i can keep them all off base but if i fail to do that, Jeter will be my next option to help me out Or he can throw the ball away twice like he did in game 2 of the series
