“Clay’s performance is not what he wanted or I wanted it to be for sure,’’ said manager Bobby Valentine. “He left a lot of pitches in a real hittable zone and gave up a lot of hard-hit balls.’’When asked if Buchholz was in danger of being removed from the starting rotation, Valentine said, “I have no plans to change him at this time.’’More here. The story goes on to note that the optiions are limited, with Cook on the DL and Dice-K not back yet.I give the manager credit, though. He's making the call and sticking by his pitcher.Now I'm going to go bite my nails for a few hours.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. –– The Red Sox avoided making anymore roster moves on Monday. After employing eight relievers in Tuesday's 17-inning affair against the Orioles, there was a possibility the team would promote either Mark Melancon or Junichi Tazawa to add an extra arm to the bullpen.

You can start with the team itself, or some people have called out new manager Bobby Valentine, but the real issue, and where the real blame should be is the front office.
