Tim Wakefield had the second shortest start of his career Saturday, giving up seven runs in 1 2/3 innings against the Rangers. The amazing thing is that Wakefield actually retired five in a row to start the outing. At that point, it all came crashing down in a way it hasn't for the knuckleballer in several years. He gave four extra-base hits and four walks to the next eight hitters he faced. It's possible his shoulder was bothering him, but it's more likely that he just lost the feel of his knuckler for 20 excruciating minutes.
