Desperate Red Sox getting desperate

[Warner2BruceTD]

Sox supposedly on the verge of trading for Bruce Chen, who would then potentially start the one game play off if it is needed. Tampa struggles vs. lefties.

Last week, the Sox tried to get Chris Capuano from the Mets for cash, but the Mets declined.

BRUCE CHEN ON THE BUMP with your playoff life on the line.

Bruce Chen has been killing the Rays this year, IIRC.

[Warner2BruceTD]

It's pretty amazing that the Red Sox are scouring the rosters of bad teams looking for guys to step in and save their season. I've never seen anything like this.

Chen could potentially join the team, never end up playing if they lock it up tonight, and win a World Series.

Chen hasn't faced Tampa Bay this year, but he threw a 3-hit shutout against them last year.

TB hits .240 vs. lefties, I think.

Anyway, they can't start Lackey. No way. If they can't get Chen or someone else, i'd start Wakefield. Fuck it. Let the crafty veteran go out there, and hope that knuckler is bouncing around.

lol, we all know that the Red Sox are going to trot out Wakefield for the playoff

Chen vs. Moore has to be the ideal matchup for baseball fans. I certainly don't want to watch Lackey shit the bed.

Bruce Chen being discussed as a last minute ringer to save your season? And I thought the Braves relying on a rookie was bad.
