Okay, okay I know Beckett looked bad and I know Lowell is out for the series but gee wiz folks Boston made it this far, we took one out of two in Tampa and we have Lester going for us in game 3. Sure Ortiz has not hit a home run in a very long time and sure Jacoby has not earned a hit as of yet that just means they are ready for...

Dice K has had a long layoff and so we shall see how well he fares with the rest. Wait a minute, Dice K used to have a longer rotation in his home land so the long rest should do him well.Lester, however, will be on short rest so he might be on a shorter pitch count. All in all, we have a solid rotation of pitchers to matchup against the Rays and best...

Tonight one particular goober said to me that Lester will only get one start and that the Rays have better pitching. I reminded him that first and foremost we are not the White Sox. There will be no easy wins for the Rays against Boston. Second I reminded him that we have experience in the post season, way more than the Rays...
