Losing Manny Ramirez for a quarter of the season isn’t automatically a death knell. Pedro Martinez has just one good start against a good opponent this year, but that’s the scheduler’s fault. I’m hardly off the hook for advancing the claim that he won’t make it to ten starts, and if losing Martinez was one of my major theories about what would lay hope low in Beantown, losing Ramirez for a month and a half might make you think I’d peg this as the beginning of the end.
