Bailey Blows Another Save

He has to go. Try anyone else - Tazawa, Uehara or Miller are the guys mentioned on the Red Sox blog as possible replacement closers. Let Bailey serve as a mop up guy when the Sox are ahead or behind by 5 or 6. I starting thinking of Andrew Bailey in the same light as Daniel Bard. Maybe it's mental. But Bard has no idea where the ball is going while Bailey is serving up grade A meatballs every night. Lackey & Doubront both deserved better fates. Detroit is a tough team to beat & this blown game by Bailey may come back to bite the Sox by the time this series is over. It's time for Lester to improve & throw a good game tonight. He can rest easy if he does go 7 or 8 because Lester won't be turning it over to Bailey in the 9th - not tonight, not for the rest of the season. I think the Bailey days of closing games is over for 2013.
