Ok Im settling down back to reality after seeing a bitter loss, that was so close to back to back walkoffs. The Sox still took 2 out of 3 (against Tampa's best 2 pitchers), one of the wins being a dramatic walkoff, and were able to gain a game on the Yankees which remains at 5.
Dice wont be like this on a regular basis and just one inning did him in. The offense didnt let up after being pushed back to a 6-0 deficit and the Sox bullpen stood their ground to give the team a chance. The matchups have set up nicely for this gritty 4 game series against the 1st place Angels. A wknd that will feature the debut of the best pitching prospect in the minors (Bucholz), and Wily Mo being moved so they can upgrade the bench with Bobby Kielty
