Only Engel would make it better.

Just terrible. LaRussa has lost his mind.

Well, that goes without saying, his being on the IL a big part of this season has really hurt the club, we had to see too much of Goodwin and days were Vaughn played right field, Andrew is much better in left field.I think Engel is a lot more valuable to the Sox than some may think.A new younger manager.The Royals have given us fits.Don't forget Vaughn is a rookie with not that much time spent in the minors, he is playing all over the place and with the pressure of a pennant race plus he's not the only guy having trouble with RISP.I've seen a lot of games there since the Rays came to be in 1998 and the Sox have always struggled in the Trop, probably about .500 in the games I have attended. It just seems like it's dark in there and maybe the Sox don't see the ball all that well while at the plate. The Rays hit well there so I guess they're are use to the darkness.The bullpen plain and simple and for whatever reason just hasn't been consistent this year.Remember when TLR, Leland and another coach went to the radio studio where Jimmy was doing the postgame show and were there to provoke him into a fight, that was as bush league as you could get.We made it to the game driving 84 miles from Punta Gorda and yes I was pissed. TLR and I are just about the same age and pretty sure I have more on the ball than he does. I was a good friend of Jimmy Piersall back in his broadcasting days with the Sox and he hated TLR, I can only imagine what he'd be saying about him now.Without a doubt.We drove up from Punta Gorda to take in the game, when I saw the lineup I just about puked.There are a lot of lazy catchers in the Majors.We need Grandal back ASAP.
