What a day
Unbelieveable weather in Boston today as the temperature is just right and very similar to yesterday's weather.
Chase Wright (1-0, 5.40) will make his second major league start tonight against Daisuke Matsuzaka (1-2, 2.70) at Fenway Park as the Yankees try to salvage this three-game series with a win.
The Bombers have gotten to the Red Sox starters as they have scored ten runs against them in 13.2 innings to this point, and will look to add to that as Dice-K takes the mound tonight.
Hopefully Wright can hang around with Matsuzaka until about at least the sixth. He does not need to outpitch the Japanese righty, but he does need to give the bullpen a break and give the Yankees some sort of chance to win the game.
I will be heading down to Fenway around 5 for the game for my second look at Matsuzaka, hopefully this time he gets the loss like last time against Felix Hernandez.
Johnny Damon will be in the lineup for the Yankees tonight, but Jorge Posada will not.
Coming into this series I was looking for a 2-1 series win because I thought we could get to Beckett on Friday (which we did and if not for a rare blown save by Mariano we'd have had that one) and then take the game Sunday night.
So far I have liked what I have seen from Dice K but he tends to throw a lot of pitches out of the zone and get into a lot of deep counts.
I think in Japan a lot of hitters helped get themselves out by swinging at balls out of the zone and breaking balls almost in the dirt.
Yankee hitters won't do that and so I thought, and think, that we have a decent shot tonight.
Anyway, I like your blog and
I've added a link to your page on the blog that I just started here on MLBlogs this past week.
Check it out if you like, I've been very happy with the content of it as well as the small amount of positive feedback it's gotten.
Hey, if nothing else it has a link to your blog ?
LOL !
