Tough one last night

I know Cano has been good so far this year but was I the only one who saw that coming. Usually the hitter wins that one after fouling a few off but it was like slow motion. They said he was not running hard down the line, I didn’t see but the last few strides and it did show the Cano Trot. Why wasnt A-Rod running on the picth, was he? These are the games we have to win and every time I look up, I see the Sox just winning, different ways in winning too. Something is missing this year and I am usually hard on this team from every angle but seriously something is missing. I think it’s a lack of discipline. Melkey should not be diving for that ball, he should know better by now, he’s not a rookie.  I have said this before, we have a god team, but not the greatest of coaches, they don’t seem to be instilling discipline into these guys. Championship teams are disciplined at the plate, field , running the base paths and roaming the outfield. Swisher has looked like a clown in right jumping after balls 5 foot above his glove. There is no situational hitting either, god forbid we bunt also, the Mick bunted! I know, I know, broken record here... I really don’t see what Matsui brings to the game anymore, groundballs to short just don’t get me excited anymore, maybe the occasional pop up to third, he has to GO now, make Posada the full time DH, too many passed balls and his throws to second are not fun to watch, though Pena dropped a good one last night and ok, let Cervelli and Molina do the catching. Back to the coaches, they really have to go, how a few rookie pitchers can make this team look bad is beyond me, since last summer we have heard them say, “He had his best stuff tonight against us” or “He was throwing strikes all night”, so good, hit the darn ball, its what your getting paid to do.

Anywya, what are your thoughts where we are right now and what needs to be done to make it to October?
