John Lackey Must Die.

The boos at Fenway Park were as loud as bass drums on the Esplanade yester day as Lackey was pulled in the third inning after giving up seven runs. That the Red Sox made the game interesting before losing, 9-7, could not obscure the growing problem with Lackey. It was the fourth time in 13 starts this season that Lackey (5-8) has allowed at least seven earned runs. Only Fausto Carmona of Cleveland can match that dubious achievement and he has made 18 starts. Among major league pitchers with at least 70 innings this season, Lackey has the highest earned run average by more than a run at 7.47. His ERA in seven starts at Fenway is 9.17. Lackey is 19-19 with a 5.16 ERA since signing a five-year, $82.5 million deal. The Sox are 21-25 in the games he has started, with yesterday marking his shortest outing with the team. “Just continue to work hard. I’ve made a lot of adjustments, kind of on the fly,’’ he said. “Some of those will hopefully turn into some results here soon. “I’ve felt a lot better since coming off the DL. I’ve pitched some good games and lost and obviously had some pretty rough ones.’ “Overall, my arm felt pretty good,’’ Lackey said. “Probably one of the better ones it’s felt as far as velocity and stuff like that. Just didn’t locate well enough. “I gave up some soft ones that fell in on some good pitches and had some bad pitches that got hit hard.’’

Fuck him. It's never John Lackey's fault. It's always a good pitch that a batter miraculously sent out of the yard on a terrific swing. He's such a fucking child it's not even funny. Take some responsibility and open your eyes, dickhead. You're not a good pitcher.
