    I guess Dice can throw 120 pitches and get into the 8th inning and they won't need the bullpen much,

    sorry, at 120 pitches, Dice K is still in the 6th ... he HAS to get his walks under control.

    vs Tampa this year, he went 1 - 0 in 3 starts ... 15 IP, 17ks, 11BBs and a 3.00 ERA

    Lester vs Tampa ... :D ...

    3-0 in 3 starts, 20 IP, 19Ks ... 0.90 ERA ... NICE!

    Beckett -

    2-1 in 5 starts 35 IP, 37ks 2.06 ERA ... let's hope THAT Beckett shows up.

    By the way, I don't know if it's been posted but if it had been Manny and not Bay on 2nd trying to score the other night, I'm not so sure Manny would have been safe. I doubt he even would have slid home.


    Manny batted 4th with the sox...Bay batted 6th that game. Manny wouldn't even have been up to bat in that inning. There is no possible way you can compare. People should just stop comparing.

    Manny is the best right handed hitter of all time, and Jason Bay makes the Red Sox a better team right now than Manny...That's all you need to know.

    I was talking skills of each player. I know most likely where they'd be in the lineup. Yes, Manny is a first ballot HOF player, no question. I was just mentioning, since in essence we god rid of Manny for Bay that Manny most likely would have not slid going home, as I've seen him plenty of times just "being Manny" and go home standing up, making them close plays.

    I suppose, but I just don't think it is fair to compare them...especially in specific situations such as this.

    A Dodgers/Sox series would be amazing.

    I agree a Sox/Dodgers series would be amazing, but a Sox/Phillies series wouldn't be that bad.

    My dad and I talked about that very thing....no way in hell Manny would have made it....he would've been out by 10 feet. But, then again, Manny wouldn't have been batting in the same spot in the lineup as was Bay, so Manny probably wouldn't have been the one on second in that situation anyways....but, no, he wouldn't have made it.

    I wouldn't be shocked to see Lester pitch in game 6 if they need to win because there's enough days off in between to let him rest.

    Good chance of a brawl I say....three, maybe four, years ago they tangled during spring training. I don't quite remember what brought that on though...and maybe it wasn't that long ago...maybe two years

    Are the Championship Series on TBS like the Divisional?
    I know Boston-Tampa Bay is on Friday night...with Daisuke and Sheilds on the mount.

    Yeah, I'm glad I won't have to listen to McCarver and Buck's shit since I could give a rat's ass who win the NL. Those two dudes make me sick

    I have a hard time trusting dice in important situations and I don't have a good feeling about tonight....I guess I still have a lot of the pre-2004 mentality left over. But I am always hopeful
