Felger and Massarotti kicked off the day discussing the Boston Red Sox and last night's 8-3 loss to the Rockies in Colorado. John Lackey struggled last night, giving up four earned runs in six innings. In the second half of the year, Lackey is 3-7 with a 4.35 ERA in 13 games. Also, Lackey's road record is 4-10 with a 4.48 ERA. Should there be concern with Lackey pitching in the playoffs? How should the Sox set up their rotation for the playoffs? Should the Sox be worried about a potential series against the Tampa Bay Rays?
