well then he was giving the pitchers too much before.
Dice-K is running out of gas already which is a friggen joke since it’s 66 pitches through 4 innings. I could see sending him out for one more inning but if he starts rough or looks bad he’s out.
JD Drew’s GDP with the bases loaded is looming a bit large right now.

leadoff hitter each inning for Sox. Each time Sox have
scored so far. V-tek single.

Semper how are you?Doing just fine. Hoping your screen name comes true -- again. (I remember you had to have it changed when they kept choking.)
Good to see you, Doc. It wouldn't be a Red Sox-facing-elimination thread without you.

Red Sox are getting the hits but they aren't cashing in on very many runs. Another leadoff hit, let's at least bring this one in.
Eric Wedge being interviewed live on Fox. Sounds like he's going to keep Westbrook in a little longer.

"Time to yank this Dice-K. The Red Sox paid HOW MUCH for him?"Only 107 million, quite a deal considering he has only given up about 10 million per earned run in the playoffs.

Francoma won’t run a guy with 33 stolen bases at first thus keeping the DP in play.
