7/22 @ Seattle

[TheKilo]

Step 1 - Score more runs than Seattle

 

Step 2 - ???

 

Step 3 - Profit

 

 

Matsuzaka v. Dickey. Win.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Are you a member of Fark by any chance?

[TheKilo]

no sir, why do you ask?

[Youk Of The Nation]

That's a well-established Fark cliche. The 1-2-3 profit thing.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Dale Scott behind the plate tonight--I have high expectations for a fairly called game.

 

Furthermore, Scott calls a wide strike zone, with only 3.02 BB/9 IP thus far in 2008. That works to both Matsuzaka's and Dickey's advantage, but Matsuzaka loves the edges--all of the edges--of the strike zone, while Dickey is simply wild.

 

Matsuzaka has been dominating in his last four starts, allowing one earned run in 23.1 IP. Dickey has been OK in his last four starts, too--only 4 ER in 26.1 IP--but, again, Dice-K has been better. It's not just the starting pitchers, it's also the teams, and Boston was a better team thus far in 2008, a better team over the last ten games, and a better team last night.

 

While anything can happen, Boston should win this game. If that doesn't come to pass, I'll skip a day of posting in shame.

RA Dickey sucks. Win. /analysis

Anytime you lose to Seattle it's embarassing. With the Dice-K/Dickey matchup I feel pretty good about our chances tonight. Hopefully we can get to them early and this one won't even be close.

Should be interesting to see the Sox on the receiving end of a knuckleball for a change

[Bostonownsyou]

JD DREW bitches

[msubulldogs21]

Drew!! Solo homer!

 

1-0 Sox

[Bostonownsyou]

JD just missed that 1. But the approaches at the plate look good so far.

[BoSox21]

Dice-K looks like he has very good command of his pitches tonight

[msubulldogs21]

3 really nice innings from Dice. 5 K's already.

[Bostonownsyou]

Some offense now please.

[msubulldogs21]

Sac fly by Drew brings in Ellsbury.

 

2-0 Sox

[Cocos Disciples]

All this west coast monkey business is really throwing me off.

[msubulldogs21]

RBI double by Lowell!

 

3-0 Sox. Keep it going guys.

[zackredsox]

If Manny would cut his hair he could have made it home on that wild pitch.

[redsoxrules]

Am I seing this right, dice with only 62 pitches after 5 innings ?

[Bostonownsyou]

Good pitching there.

[Bostonownsyou]

Papelbon please.

[Bostonownsyou]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

 

This guy sucks Terry why now?

[zackredsox]

Franconas a freakin idiot.

[Bostonownsyou]

Well done Okajima.

[zackredsox]

I cant believe we got out of that inning ahead.

[Bostonownsyou]

Wooooooooooooooo! Nice win very pleased with these last 2 games.

[zackredsox]

I still cant believe we made it through the 8th.

Papelbon isn't going to be able to go 1+ innings every night and you can't call Francona an idiot for not making him do so. Okajima hasn't allowed an earned run over his last 7 appearances so he might as well be the 8th inning guy for now
