Clubhouse reaction after today's loss in Tampa

Red Sox manager Terry Francona on Manny Delcarmen's struggles:

“That’s why we went to Manny, so it wouldn’t [get out of control]. He threw two fastballs right in the middle of the plate. Daisuke was so good. It didn’t work out very well.”

Delcarmen on his sub-par outing and allowing back-to-back home runs in the seventh inning:

“If I could take them back I would. It just shows that when you make a mistake they are going to hit it up here. I got frustrated because we scored two the next inning, and if you take away (my) runs then we’re up by one. I wanted to go back out there.”

Dice-K on his performance and the home run he allowed in the seventh inning:

“With both teams at zero runs at that point, that was a situation I wanted to avoid and I’m disappointed."

At this point im the season, the Sox are still at the top of the MLB. I believe coach Francona has faith in his bullpen. The bats were not making that much noise and Tampa Bay was due for a win. It so happens that the Soz were in town when it happened. Francona is doing a great job and this fan has your support.
