Sox lose 4-2 in 13

Before I talk about the game last night sorry for misreporting that Lester wasn't going to pitch last night. He was actually moved up in his start so he could pitch against the Yankees. Once again sorry for misreporting that. Now for the game.
Is there one reason the Red Sox couldn't walk Evan Longoria in the 13th last night. There was no real reason for not walking him Ben Zobrist was batting after him you have to walk him in that situation. I know he was 1-5 on the night but he had hit a bomb off of the Red Sox best reliever earlier in the night Daniel Bard. Jon Lester pitched well last night but still it wasn't enough we need Lester going seven or eight innings each night. What a job by the bullpen escaping the loss in every inning Ram Ram got out of it with the bases loaded and no one out. Also Manny Delcarmen coming in during the eigth inning with the bases loaded and also getting out of it. Thank you to the fan who stopped the Rays from scoring in the eigth because you touched the ball and made it a ground rule double.
Pedroia hit a home run but also grounded into a crucial doule play in the 10th. Not enough offense by the Red Sox once again. I am tired of this they don't get hits in crucial spots anymore. They don't have the big inning that they used to when Manny was here. Bay is awful right now and I think Josh Reddick's greatness as a Red Sox is over. He needs to be benched now. Hopefully the Sox can get a win tonight. Maybe Penny can go into the seventh inning for the first time this year I am so tired of these lame staring pitchers going out there and throwing five innings and then relying on the bullpen to get them there win. I want Penny out there throwing 300 pitches and getting the complete game. They should activate Daisuke just for this start and have him throw 800 pitches and get the complete game. Penny is going up against David Price who is 4-4 but killed the Red SOx in the ALCS last year can they get a win versus the Rays this year they are 4-7 against the Rays this season.
