i tend to look at the negatives as much as anyone but I am not worried about our perfomance as we're in 1st place inspite of the world wide tour and the early scheduling against the iron of the american league.
if they're 2 games over .500 come August then I'll worry but based on what we've seen so far I am sleeping ok

I understand its a small sample size, but it is a legetimate concern. I think Ortiz will be fine, as others do....but the fact is, Mike Timlin is now what 42?, Tavarez is also getting older and all the innings and appearances and roles hes had in his career may be catching up to him......Lopez, no more needs to be said about him bc hes always sucked. Those are 3 spots in a pitching staff 25-30% of the staff depending on how many you base it on.......and 50-60% of the bullpen depending on how many they are carrying at any time.
