Another fast start...

So Tampa scores first this afternoon. As they did in both games yesterday. As the Mariners did in all three games in Seattle. As the Twins did in the last two games in Minnesota.

Does it seem like they've been playing from behind recently? Uh, yeah. There's a reason for that. They have been. Every day for the last week and a half.

That's right - the Red Sox opposition has now scored first in eight straight games. The last time the Red Sox scored first was a week ago Monday in Minnesota, and then they scored one in the top of the second and promptly allowed three in the bottom.


It's not an ideal approach - every game is either a comeback or a loss...
