The Red Sox disappointing season  seems to be continuing! The teams luck doesn't seem to be turning around. This was the case again Saturday night after letting up four runs in the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins.  

Pedro Ciriaco continues to show up at the plate, hitting his first big league home run, before teammate Cody Ross added some more offense with a RBI single.  There was a good feeling of victory before the four run, ninth, which included a two out three run homer coming from catcher Joe Mauer.  Although the Sox continue to face these lows, manager Bobby Valentine still stays optimistic saying, "It's a nice day game [Sunday], we'll bounce back, unless they're going to call off the season. If they allow us to play, we'll be out there playing hard."  While Valentine is confident in a “nice little run” most boston players realize that these are desperate times. 

Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz has pitched very well as of late, but is not receiving support from the offensive side of the ball “this offense is too good to score those few runs” said Nick Punto.  Things keep going good for the Sox and then seem to turn in the opposite direction, going on streaks then instead of losing just one or two they go on a losing streak.  Things seemed to turn from good to horrible in the 9^th, with two men on and a 2-2 count pitcher Aceves thought he notched strike three on a low outside fastball, but was called a ball.  The next pitch was a misplaced fastball that Joe Mauer crushed, and never seemed to land, which gave the Twins the lead and eventually the win.  David Ortiz looked on from the dugout, still sidelined with a strain to his right Achilles.  The Sox need his bat in the line-up, going 7-11 without him.  He was eligible to be activated on Aug. 1, but his return has been slower than expected.  

There are  only 54 games remaining in the season, and despite the current situation, the players and management remain confident that they can turn this season around and make a serious push in the final two months.
