Getting? why the hell is Dice still pitching. I really don't need another Grady Little impression tonight.

DB = DP.
The Red Sox could have easily have scored 10 in this game by now.

Francona better head out to take the ball.
To: misterrob
Dice-K should have been out at the end of last inning.
Bring in Oki now!!

Blake reaches out of the zone to poke a hanger....
He’s done.
But no, they are leaving him in. Shades of Grady Little.

They’ll pull him after he gives up a 3 run homer.
To: Red Steel
Westbrook is one lucky pitcher. his given up 9 dingers and still in the game. Hard hit after hard hit. The Indians are living off the DB.Nah, he's a plucky pitcher. This is a pretty typical Westbrook outing, lots of DPs, more hits given up than usual though.

I'll leave him in there

Westbrook lives on the edge way too much. That makes for a short career.

Westbrook lives on the edge way too much. That makes for a short career.We just gave him a big new contract this year.
He's a contact pitcher, he'll never strike out the side.

IF he’s lucky enough to retire Sizemore, this should be it.
