How much do we have to pay for someone to take Lackey?

Re: The 2011 Boston Red Sox: This Space for Rent
We left after the top of the 8th. It was 3-0. Had the radio on while driving home. Almost shut the radio off after Bautista's homerun. Did shut the radio off as soon as that hit happened and didn't wait to see if the run scored, or didn't. Papelbon drives me nuts. Why didn't Francona leave Bard in? If he gives up a hit in the top of the 9th, then take him out. He pitched OK in the 8th. Leave him in. They were up 3 runs - was it even a save situation for Papelbon?
So did you survive the ninth inning?

3 runs would be a save situation, yes.

The Jays got hosed. If you watch the replay Varitek missed Encarnacion on the sweep tag and didn't tag him until after his right foot touched the plate. The view from the camera on the first base side clearly shows Encarnacion's foot on the plate and Varitek's glove a foot or so above his leg.

Ump was really on top of the play (any closer and he would have been the catcher). If he was at a different angle, the call may have been different.

Beckett should have been kicking back with Jeter in Florida. If he goes down, looks like the rotation is Lester, Wakefield and whomever gets called up from Pawtucket that week.

Dozed off several times, but didn't go to bed until after the game. To use a hockey analogy, the Red Sox were like a team that gets 12 power plays but can't score, and the Rays were like a team that can't even get a shot on goal.
These teams scored 29 runs in the previous two games.
Nice job by the pitchers, especially Beckett
and Aceves, though I was sure that Aceves hitting two consecutive batters meant doom.

My stupid arse stayed up for that thing, too. Normally a last-inning win feels great. Last night, it was just a relief

Their offense is carrying them even with Drew in the lineup who should be replaced by Reddick in right field now that Crawford is back in left. They should make a deal for a quality starting pitcher now with the injuries they have and I don't have faith in Wakefield and his knuckleball, Lackey is Lackey, Weiland an unproven and showed it in his first start, Andrew Miller is a long term project with consistency problems. You can never have too much pitching.
Reyes and Beltran are nice trade rumors but you would have to give up too much to get them, and besides offense is not their problem. Starting pitching is their one weakness with their injuries and lack of quality starters after Beckett, Lester, and Buchholtz. I expect Lester to be back but Buchholtz is a big if right now.

It's also relevant that they're in the playoffs by seven games at this point.
If Buchholtz comes "back" (and I agree that's a big if) and with the Lackey of the last couple of starts, their pitching matches up fine with everyone except Philadelphia.

Wow this offense is on a roll. That's two straight games that it looked like the starting pitcher blew the game in the top of the first and they were back in it by the bottom of the first and never looked back.
I know it was Bruce Chen, but still . . .

Re: The 2011 Boston Red Sox: This Space for Rent
It hit a woman's knee. The next inning, Don Orsillo (Red Sox play-by-play) said "We have evidence" and they showed on camera a woman who was sitting in that spot with a nasty bruise on her knee. Bizarre.
