Who Decided to Play Last Night?

Rain. Rain. Rain.

The Sox management, with their own weather station at Fenway Park, blew an important start by Jon Lester last night. They decided to start a game with rain predicted & it backfired after 1 out in the 1st inning.

I was also thinking about the poor Rays mindset. They have lost 8 in a row. They get bases loaded & have a chance to get to Jon Lester early in the 1st inning. Then the game gets called off. Bad luck continues.

I understand that Lester will start the 2nd game on Sunday. Hard to say how the warm-up & one inning last night will affect his performance.

Beckett goes today. Everyone in Red Sox Nation is looking for Josh to have a good start & bounce back to his Beckett-like form from mid-season.
