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
It's the Ray's season. TB in 6.
Greetings from "Mannywood"
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.
Dice-K will go 7 innings & Dustin will get out of his slump. Red Sox in 5
