Not a bad start time for a west coast game.  Let's see how the Sox do against another guy with a high ERA (5.93) but a decent strikeout rate.

Mind if I don't touch this one Ted?  I never know what is coming out of that box of chocolates where  the Red Sox are concerned.  Did you hear how GM Dave Dombrowski fired Joe Girardi today?  Like that is going to solve their problems with their lousy pi tching.   Then again, if gave me hope that maybe if our team really craters  the RFC with the ugly beard might be shown the door at seasons' end.  As I've said all along the guy should have never been rehired in the first place.
