Once again he wasn't the reason that they lost. It all comes down to pitching. Burnett wasn't good in game one, but honestly it didn't matter cause they weren't touching Beckett. Wang was horrendous, then they get a great effort from CC and then crap the bed late. They need to upgrade the pen or at least put Joba back in it. Boston's pen is head and shoulders above the Yanks. And it all comes down to pitching.
As far as Tex goes, no one was saying anything when he went on that torrid streak, including 4-5 the other night. He takes an o-fer (in a game that they should have won) and all of a sudden everyones back out of the closet.
