He was always misable

The Sox are 0-2 after the nomar trade, but what is more sobering is the fact that Orlando Cabrera who was aquired for his defense made the game losing fielding error as he boot a cut off throw.

I was thinking (Ford) was trying to score," Cabrera said. "We missed the cut and I saw the play as a loose ball. I went after it, and didn't see (first baseman David McCarty ) behind me. I kicked it with my left foot and it got away."

And so did the game Jerk Store. Welcome to Boston.
In a strange turn of events Pedro dominated in the seveth inning and should have pitched the eigth. Pedro and the managment thought differently.

Our plan was for me to pitch 100 or 110 pitches, and that's where I ended up," Martinez said. "I could've gone nine but I didn't want to push it, go nine and lose my next outing."
