The slumping Red Sox are looking for pitching reinforcements and have spent many days trying to obtain left-hander Chris Capuano from the Mets for cash, according to John Tomase of the Boston Herald. Boston’s lead over the Rays and Angels has shrunk to just 2.5 games after a 5-16 September slide.

The Red Sox would start Capuano Sunday against the Yankees if they complete a deal, but it appears that the Mets will keep the 33-year-old, who has a 4.47 ERA with 8.0 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 175 1/3 innings this year. Boston wouldn’t be able to use Capuano in the playoffs - they’re simply interested in boosting their chances of reaching the postseason.

Jon Lester pitches Friday's series opener and he'll be followed by Tim Wakefield and John Lackey barring a change of plans.

Theo doing anything he can to keep his name as well as others out of the record book.

Bruce Chen is now being rumored to be traded for just to pitch the play-in game if there is one.

It's not too late to trade for Ted Lilly. He's ready to pitch today.

I just realized Charlie Haeger lately has been pitching for the Red Sox's Double-A team. They should call him up to pitch the play-in game!

LOL, Haeger followed by Ramon Ortiz. That pretty much epitomized that shit show of a season.
