#RedSox why our pitchers so bad against bad teams??? This is silly. His last game was masterful.

Iโ€™m sorry you feel that way. I have always sort of liked the Oโ€™s. And I love going to Camden Yard. But Sox fans travel and if the locals donโ€™t care enough to support the team, then Boston fans will fill up the stadium. It happens. Ask Tampa Bay.
