The calendar reads August so I guess this is the time we figure out what teams are for real and what teams don't have what it takes.
The Sox open a seven game road trip out in Kansas City tonight. KC has been playing well of late. Clay Buchholz starts the opener. Clay needs a good showing. He has struggled mightily this year. He always seems to have one bad inning a game. The other starters (Beckett, Dice-K, Lester and Wakefield) have been solid. With Bartolo Colon rehabbing in AAA Pawtucket this week, Buchholz's regular starts may be coming to an end.
The team is now built around pitching and defense. Regardless of whatever people are saying, the offense did take a step back last week with the trade. It sure would be nice to see Buchholz get the team off on the right foot to begin this road trip.

Oh look, Clay had that one bad inning last night.
Bartolo waitin' in the wings
Colon was awful last night ... he didn't get through one inning ... so much for that idea
