  1. I'm so terrified of Masterson, Delcarmen, and Lopez trying to get through the sixth, seventh, and eighth tonight after Dice-K does his 5 and fly routine.

    Why on earth are we not going with Beckett then Lester?!?
    Please Tito, come to your senses before you give away Game One.

    I can already see it... 2-1 Sox after the 5th... then the Rays get all the momentum by coming back to take the lead off Masterson.

    Yikes

  1. Actually, going with Dice-K for game one does make sense. That way, if the series comes down to game 6 or 7 you have your best pitchers going out there for them, Beckett and Lester.

  1. Dice-K will go 7 innings & Dustin will get out of his slump. Red Sox in 5
