  0-0, 10-10, 11-11, 21-21, 22-22, 23-23.
If we follow the pattern, that means the Sox will play badly for a while and then only make their way back to .500 at 32-32.
So we've got that to look forward to.
The Sox have made an art form out of disappointing their fans in the most painful way possible since that terrible September. It's almost disappointing, frankly, that they've been harping on this .500 thing for so long. Have they run out of ideas? Or is that what the walkoff</description>

      <description>The Roy Oswalt saga is one that just appears to have some endless legs to it.In a tweet by baseball guru, Peter Gammons, it appears that Oswalt's agent has been telling suitors that his client worked out for the Dodgers.While it seems likely that this could be a ploy by his agent to get other teams involved, the idea of Oswalt joining the Dodgers is certainly intriguing.Obviously, one has to ask: why improve upon the best team in baseball? If it is not broken, why fix it? All of those sayings co</description>

  R.A. Dickey allowed just three hits and one walk over 7.1 innings, striking out ten Padres and keeping San Diego off the scoreboard altogether. His only bit of trouble came in the eighth, when he hit Nick Hundley and walked Chris Denorfia to put the tying runs on base with just one out. Terry Collins relieved Dickey with everyday Tim Byrdak, who got pinch-hitter Alexi Amarista to line out to center and then struck out Will Venable to end the inning.

      <description>The running assumption shared by fans and media members alike is the fact that the Boston Red Sox will be trading Kevin Youkilis in fairly short order.It is a solid assumption considering his contract status, age, and the production of his replacement, Will Middlebrooks.While Youkilis has been proving his worth through solid play over the past several days, the Red Sox have been forced to look at a few different needs than they assumed would exist at this point in the season.The outfield is a me</description>

      <description>On Sunday, the Yankees were looking to complete a three-game sweep of the Oakland A's at O.co Coliseum.The Yankees were sending up Hiroki Kuroda on the mound, who at the time, had a 3-6 record with a 4.56 ERA.In Kuroda's previous nine starts, you weren't sure which pitcher would show up; the one that will be very sharp or the one that looks flat.Against Oakland, the former showed up and absolutely dominated the younger Athletics' lineup.Kuroda pitched eight solid innings allowing four hits, no r</description>

  Another day, another roster move or two.
Today Chad Beck was recalled and Jesse Chavez was added to the 40-man and brought to Toronto.
Going the other way is Yan Gomes (oh that's going to cause complaining among the small sample size believers) and Ryota Igarashi was DFAed (one day too late).
Chad has a 1.31 ERA in 19 relief appearances in Las Vegas. 12 hits, 8 walks, 13 k in 20.2 innings. We saw Chad last year, he gave up 1 hit in 2.1 innings.
Jesse Chavez has a 3.72 ERA in 10 starts </description>
