4 game series in MoTown

[Bon Bon]

The Sox invade Motown for a 4 game set against the Tigers and there mighty offensive team that really hasn't been living up to the hype so far. Let's hope they don't explode this week against the Sox. In game one tonight the Sox will have Dice K on the hill trying to keep his record perfect and win his 5th game. The Tigers will throw out Bonderman who has been respectful with a 2--2 record and a 3.86 ERA. He has been bit by the walk bug though this early season. In game two on tuesday the Sox will have Tim Wakefield who also been having his strike zone difficulty with 21 walks this season and he will face Nate Robertson who is really struggling with a 6.82 ERA and a 1-3 record. Game three will have Clay Buchholz for the Sox and he has been really good as of late with a 2-2 record and a low ERA of 3.71. Another young pitcher with the last name of Gallaraga will face the Sox in game three. He has been great so far this season with a 2-1 record and a very good ERA of 1.88. In the final game on thursday it would be the marquee matchup of Josh Beckett vs. Justin Verlander. The only problem is that Beckett has been far from his usual superior self and Verlander has been downright awful. So I would love to see the Sox come out of this series with 3 wins.

Mike Lowell crushes a bomb in the top of the 2nd. 2-0 Sox

I hope Boston woops it up on Detroit like Detroit did to the Yankees. And then, I hope Boston pulls a Detroit and gets swept in the very next series.

YOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!!!!!!!!!!! 2run bomb to double the lead. 4-0 Sox

Tigers get back 1. Dice K has walked 7 guys so far. Very unusual. 4-1 Sox

8 walks in 4.2 innings for Dice K.

Wow. Do the Red Sox just hate my fantasy team or what?

I have no idea what is going on with Dice K. He just seems so rattled with himself and he is usually very calm on the mound. The good thing is he has only allowed 2 hits.

True. But first they blast James Shields (which killed me), and now Dice-K seems hell bent on hurting my WHIP

8 walks will do just that.

[ljshorty89]

And my other starter today, Ervin Santana, has 6 innings, 3 hits, 5 BB. I'm just not meant to win WHIP, lol

[Bon Bon]

Dice K is now out of the game so you don't have to worry about him giving up any more freebies.

[ljshorty89]

lol, awesome. at least he brought my ERA down...

[Bon Bon]

Plus he is in line for the W.

That part can't hurt. I've never seen that kind of wildness though, especially to only give up 1 run....
