This team needs to be retooled in the offseason. Manny will likely be traded, Millar is gone, Damon and Mueller may be as well. For what they pay Nixon a year they should be getting more from the position and Rent-a-wreck has turned out to be a huge mistake for the Sox. Kapler is likely finished here as well. There is no speed on this team outside of Damon. While it's great to draw walks and lead the league in runs and OBP, the team's ERA sucks and when you can't win scoring almost 6 a night, there's a big problem.
Lastly, the team has no identity or soul this year. The Yankees feel that they are never out of it and play that way. This team simply doesn't.
It might look better in the morning. The Red Sox aren't nearly all that bad, IMHO.
