If there's to be a game 6, I hope the Red Sox management considers letting Paul Byrd pitch that game instead of throwing an injured and ineffective Beckett (who looked like Buchholz out there last night) out to get lit up again. I know Byrd hasn't pitched in, like, 2 weeks, but at this point, can he be any worse than Beckett? Hard to believe I'm saying this, given how awesome Beckett was last year at this time. What a difference a year makes! This October, it's Lester (so far...knock on wood) who has been golden and Dice-K came up pretty clutch on Friday night himself. Of course, Lester, and, despite the walks and high pitch counts, Dice-K have been the top two Sox pitchers all season. Wake has been Jekyll/Hyde-ish as usual and Beckett has been just as inconsistent. I'm hoping Wake can be Jekyll in Game 4 at Fenway (where he has fared better this season than on the road) and Dice-K can come up big again in Game 5.
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!
