red sox have 3 legitimate aces, a lot more than most teams can say (becket, dice, lester) all 3 have dominant stuff and they are the best 1-2-3 in the american league, the only one who has been a little inconsistent is becket, but 2 factors play into that, 1 is that his W-L is a little skewed due to the fact most of his losses or ND were in close games where bsox offense was poor, and 2 is that he didn't start the season on time and was injured during the first part of the season, and statistically and historically that has had a significant impact on starting pitching especially with the red sox extremely long and exhausting road schedule at the start of the year, (japan to oakland to canada etc etc.) btw yes im a soxfag, no im not butthurt, and this is the only excuses i will make for the sox, they are obviously underachieving im not stupid enough to not see this, just pointing out that becket is still an ace pitcher and just happens to have stats that don't reveal the picture. if the sox make the postseason the questions being asked now won't be asked again. promise that much at least.
