The Peavy puzzle

I'm not sure why he hasn't been good, either. I know you're wondering if you're a Sox fan, and I really don't know. But tonight, he goes against Rich harden and the Rangers to try to even the series and still have a chance to win it. Both Peavy and harden are 0-1, with Peavy's ERA a few points higher. If the Sox can do that timely hitting thing, it would be very helpful. I heard run support was a good thing.
I didn't see alot of last night's game because I was trying to flip between the Bulls and the Wings/Coyotes game as well. But what I did see from Buehrle, I liked. Matt Treanor kind of owned him, kind of the way his wife owns in the volleyball court. But other than that, Buehrle did alright i thought. the hitting was what made me mad in the 5th and 6th innings, when we had our best chances to score and failed to do so. The bats have been heating up a little bit, but it just hasn't been at quite the right time. Even our dear friend Mark Teahen got a hit as he came in to pinch hit for Nix in the 7th, but Juan Pierre grounded into a double play to kill that chance as well.
So basically, we have improved from not hitting at all, to getting on base but not hitting after that. It's progress, but hopefully tonight we can get that timely hitting going too. I hope Peavy can pitch well and get that Cy-Young-like command back. I don't anticipate him winning the Cy-Young again or anything like that, and I didn't expect him to even when we got him in the trade. I just expected him to be a little bit better than he is now. Hopefully tonight he can start working his way back to a nice, low ERA. and what better way to do it than to get your first W?
Should be a good matchup tonight though regardless. My pick to click tonight shall be: Omar Visquel.
