Washed Up

Angels starter Jerrod Washburn could not work his way out of the fourth inning after giving up a two run homer to Millah and back-toback walks to Tek and OC. A poor throw on a fielders choice by Chone Figgins cost them dealer, but it was clear that Washburn did not have good stuff today.

Good news not only because we jumped out to a bug lead, but that we also forced them to their bullpen early. Black Jack McDowell can give the Angels the edge in bullpen all he wants, but no matter how good they are, they're not going to be as effective if they're forced to pitch a bunch of innings.

Currently 8-1 Red Sox starting the bottom of the sixth.

I still don't think Schill should pitch past the 7th, regardless how well he might be pitching.
