They are averaging over 5 runs a game and that's with Tex around .200 and A-Rod out of the lineup. The offense will be fine.
To answer your question about the game in Boston. Sure I would have seen him like to get a big hit off one of the top closers in the leauge. But he didn't and them losing that game goes squarely on Mariano's shoulders PERIOD! But I'll bet you Tex does collect a few big hits in the 141 games that's still left in the season.
