Dice-K looked decent, not superb. On the other hand, Hernandez was nearly unhittable. This kid is the real deal. At 21 years of age (turned 21 on Sunday) he has some nasty stuff. Not too bad to start the season the way he has. In 2 starts he has allowed 4 hits and 0 earned runs (17 innings, 18 strikeouts, 4 BB, 1 CG shutout). Hopefully the Sox can get the bats to come alive tomorrow (if it doesn't snow)...
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

The comeback last night was awesome. That being said, Arod is on a tear like I've never seen. He has been amazing. As long as we can pull out a win, I'm happy. Beckett has looked very sharp so let's hope that continues today. Game is on Fox at 4pm ET. Tomorrow night, Dice-K will get his first true feel of this rivalry.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Basically he says that the Boston fans are starting to ruin this rivalry and starting to take away from it in his mind.
I can see where he's coming from but I don't agree. I think it adds to the fun and enjoyment of the games. I come from NC where the Carolina-Duke rivalry is about as heated as they come and I love all the trash talk. I loved the atmosphere when I went to a couple Sox-Yankees games at Fenway back in 2001. There is nothing like it. I wear my Yankees Suck t-shirts on a regular basis even now. I'm a Sox fan and I'm bred to hate the Yankees, plain and simple.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

This Matzusaka guy aint shit.....pitch inside to A-Rod does not mean plunk him in the back after an 8 pitch walk to Abreau and before a 2 run double. Boston paid this guy a rot a rot of money and so far he is a brust.

I doubt I'd term him a bust. He pitched well in the 2 games he lost, just got outdueled in each case, losing 3-0 and 2-1.
Last night was his first kind of poor outing, the Yankee lineup will do that to a lot of pitchers, and he still got a W.

Again, small sample size. Like everyone has their best stuff every game. You have to pitch inside to be effective. He'll learn. Anyways everyone stands over the plate these days. Jeter and A-Rod got plunked, nature of the business. (yes I know Ortiz does it too)
Yes. Red Sox swept. Yes they played great baseball. Yes its April. 147 games & 5 months left.
I have to say though...honestly.....
The Yanks were missing some key guys again while the sox had their A team all around the board. The other thing that suprised me was the Sox had their TOP 3 ace pitchers going and the Yanks handled each one of them. 6 runs of each one i think. Yanks pitching expcept for petitt lost this series hands down.

Very true. It's a worrying thing too. Except that it's April. I can't think of any team that won a world series by bashing the hell out of the other team. (Unless they had good pitching too) It's always about pitching in October. The Yankees line-up wasnt too bad last year either. Didn't help them much against those Tigers.
Good pitching beats good hitting. The question for Sox fans is will this staff be good enough all year and strong in the playoffs?

To those who say 3 games in April do not mean much dont know baseball. Every game counts, otherwise, they wouldnt play em'. If the sox finish 2 games ahead of the Yankees in October, these games meant everything.
6 runs off Dice, 4 runs off Becket, and 5 off Schilling. Against that line up, not too shabby.
2 runs off the bullpen...not too shabby either.
sox lineup, D, and pitching is top notch. they have a very balanced team. Even Yankee fans know that. They may not admit it, but they know it.
All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

I know every game/series counts. Just saying its important to remember that there is A LOT of baseaball left where a lot can happen. The yanks hit a bump in the road early this year with all the injuries. The sox are solid and balanced. Lets see if they can hold up all year. I will admit i think the AL is there's to lose this year. Lets see how they handle the adversity and injuried that every team faces throughout the season.
If there was any Yankee positive this past weekend it was that the big 3 sox pitchers were handled. Not one ace shut them down. Even with the lineup of melky, kevin thompson, will nieves, josh phelps, doug ".125 meintekeiwic...forget about the fact the two minor league rookies were pitching

When the Yankees swept the Sox in that 5 game series last year, partly due to injury, Yanks fans felt no sympathy so I feel non for the yanks, they brought in guys to pitch who they thought could do the job and they couldn't.
And it isn't just injuries either, Rivera looks vulnerable, and when you have to bring Pettit in for relief, you can't have that much faith in your overworked bullpen.
Plus when guys who had been struggling at the plate like Coco and Varitek come up huge it totally changes the game, regardless of who is pitching.
And these games mean something, how many years have we seen it come down to one or two game differences at the very end of the season? Say what you want this was huge for the Sox.
Go Boston!!!!!
I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste a day. Now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I've learned is always wrong. Things are true that I forget, but no one taught that to me yet

Look at the standings bitch. We don't have the luxury of a gazillion dollar payroll yet our pitching thus far has been stellar. See your asses Wednesday at the Yard.

I'm excited to see if the Sox can keep this momentum going against the Jays. Wakefield made them look like a bunch of chumps last week and I hope he does it again.

Big sweep, a mild payback for the 5 gamer done by them last season. Happy with how they responded after being down both Friday and Sunday. Dice-K had his worst start Sunday yet, but they still pulled it through. But it all comes again next weekend.....
looked pretty good tonight for the boys. I know it's early. I will never count out the Yankees ever. But it feels pretty good to be 15-7 right now.
Damn straight. You know the Yankees will wake up eventually. I am riding high on the Sox though! Just wait until Manny warms up...
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Sox are still looking good. Manny has caught fire, finally. Good to see the guys playing well. We need to give Dice-K a few more starts before we get worried. He has pitched very well other that 1 bad inning per game. He needs to eliminate that and he'll be lights out.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Man, good series going between the Sox and Tigers! Pretty much expected it to go this way so far. The Tigers are pretty good knuckleball hitters. The next two games should be pretty entertaining.
