One game left in the regular season. Just one more tangle with the Tribe until the Sox can turn all eyes to the ALDS. Another injury bullet dodged when Gonzo's x-rays came back negative after his being plunked on the hand last night by a wild and dangerous Kerry Wood. After back-to-back bludgeonings by the Yanks and the Jays, the Sox figured it's time to start winning again and what better team to practice on than the Cleveland Indians, whose entire coaching staff is on the way out. Lester got the series off to a good start by shutting out the Tribe over 6 1/3 innings on Thursday night and further making his case for starting Game 1 of the ALDS. Dice-K turned in a quality start last night, going 6 and giving up 2 runs. Beckett started tonight and had a rough go of it in the first two innings, but settled down for frames 3-5. The Sox provided plenty of offense, with 4 dingers on the night, including a V-Mart grand salami and the first long ball of Dusty Brown's major-league career. Tomorrow, Buchholz gets his final tune-up. Let's hope it goes better than his last outing. No more Bombs-Away Buch, please!
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!
