16-2.8-0 win, 2 hits, 0 walks, and 8 innings pitched.
For a guy who pitched like a high wire trapeze act on meth last year, Dice-K has been the Dirty Harry of the Red Sox staff this season. When you factor in the time he missed due to injury, this could have been one of those once in a lifetime years you read about every now and then.
You can't beat classless wins at Fenway Park in the stretch drive, yet alone one vs. one of the best teams in the AL. I had the NESN feed on, but I'd like to think there were 6 innings of dead air on the White Sox feed, intermixed with Hawk Harrellson simultaneously crying/muttering under his breath. Knowing that dink, he just twisted the top off his 40 ounce Shlitz and let the good times roll, all the while lamenting the fact he didn't get to utter "She Gone!"
That alone will get me through the weekend. Sox newbie Michael Bowden tomorrow, and if Kelly O is right, and she usually is, we are in for a fantastic night tomorrow.
Rays and Yankees win, so for the time being we tread water in the playoff race.
Sometimes that's good enough.

Minnesota playing late tonight, but keeping an eye on them too, right?...
Watching from the couch with one eye open, Redbeard. ;)
I wasn't sure if you were still online, SG went quiet. Currently have a hot game of Scrabble going on with JB, I just scored 41 points for Yew, Ex, Yo, double word score. :)
Still here, but just for a minute; Labor Day weekend is huge in retail so I'm back at work in the am.
Scrabble with JB? Don't let him convince you those misspelled words actually count!
autopilot should take care of that. qi on triple letter score, 31 points. ha!
i have to take jess to work at 6:30 as usual, but then i'll take a nap in the morning. heading down to see the folks in NY on sunday.
Great game last night! Needed after THAT game in NY. Hopefully they win tonight before I leave for BOSTON! Let's also hope that Tampa and NYY lose.
Now off to family events for the day =].
Redbeard, have a safe trip to NY for the weekend.
Krystle, it was a GREAT game last night; and good luck at school next week!
Beckett is good. I'm good. Crystal is good. Life is good. If he pitches Friday at Arlington, I'll be the one who's getting drug off by park security from behind homeplate yelling crystal's and my phone number to Beckett saying "CALL US!!"
Tex, just don't get slapped with a restraining order OK? I'll be looking for you next weekend.
