Wakey and the Sleeping Bats


Poor Tim Wakefield. His ERA is nearly identical to Josh Beckett's ERA(actually as of now, 2 points lower) and has been our most consistent starter, but yet he gets almost zero run support, ranking 47 out of 50 AL pitchers in Run Support. At first we figured, okay maybe it's just Josh Bard, but then it is realized that the bats just seem to fall asleep start after start after start. Actually this started in small signs back in 2005, but now it's just friggin redonkulous. Sometimes I joke that the only way he could ever win a game is if he pitched a perfect game, but then he'd probably lose that too somehow. I drew this more also as a wakeup call for the bats. and also, it's kinda cute to think of the players sleeping on the floor, Trot with his Cookie Monster plushie he got from Gabe(aka the Cookie-Off prize) and Papi with a bat by his side. Hopefully that airhorn works.
