Pitching really wasn't a problem a week ago though. The staff has been good, and deep. Up until this week many considered it the best staff in baseball.

I agree that it's shaky right now though. Everything has been a problem in the past 2 weeks.
Red Sox need a kick in the ass right now, because they're a better team than this.

The next 2 weeks are huge. Series against the Yanks, Rays, and Rangers, who are all compettitors for a playoff berth.
Series with the Tigers too, which isn't a playoff rival but a damn good team.
