Oh, there's panic in Beantown

The Red Sox have lost five out of six, the lead is down to 11.5, and you can sense it. JD and Coco seem to be taking the brunt of it. Granted, we've been hard on JD here, but Coco seem like an OK guy, and has annoyed the Yankees this year. But the real stunning quote comes from Dice-K:

"The Red Sox are a team that doesn't lose many games often," Matsuzaka said. "I felt a sense of urgency to stop the losing skid."

I guess the Boston Massacre II wasn't televised in Japan?

(Hey, let me have my fun for one day.)
