What is the deal with Breslow lately? He has stunk.Time to find a new 7th inning option.
What is Lackey doing in there, with Tazawa only throwing two pitches?It seems dangerous to me. Lackey isn't a relief pitcher, and if things go south here, it could damage his confidence for a potential Game 6 start.
Also, are the planning to hold off Lackey for a potential Game 7? Or pitch him G6 on short rest? And if he isn't pitching in G6?Or are we doing Lackey in 6 on 3 days, then Lester in 7 on 3 days?

A high point for me tonight was hearing McCarver criticize the Sox for holding the runner at first in the bottom of the ninth, because it left the right side of the infield open…about 30 seconds before Koji ended the game by picking the runner off.

You could have a handful of guys pitching 1-2 inning stints. Scares me big time. Need shutdown mode Lester tonight. Something like 7 IP 1ER 8K would be great.
I agree. Win with Lester tonight, then with Lackey in Game 6 Wednesday to end it. The thought of Peavy or an unhealthy Buchholz going in Game 7 makes me nervous.
