And the lineups:
I have tried, in vain, to find something substantial about Drew's injury last night. You'll notice, people who agree with me, that Coco is not leading off. DP-Youks, and it just feels like old times. Y'know. Except for Brandon Moss being in RF.
...on average, Dustin McGowan has been league-average. ERA+ of 100 despite a WHIP (1.714) that even Jon Lester could raise his eyebrows at. Luckily for McGowan, Dice-BB (5.34 BB/9) is his opponent.
Could be in for a good number of baserunners tonight. It's certainly not a good bet for another quick pitchers' duel. Of course, with Lester on the mound, last night's wasn't either. What've we got going for us? A pitcher who had pretty excellent results when he got a bit of extra rest last season. And he hasn't pitched since April 18th.
Anyone think it says a lot that Moss isn't quite in the bottom 3rd while 'Tek is? It's one spot, but I think it shows at least a little bit of faith in him.
"Fake Controversy Edit" Is Amalie Benjamin trying to start some $%^&? :)
You'll notice that J.D. Drew and Jacoby Ellsbury are both out because of their recent injuries. Dustin Pedroia, however, is not a pansy in, even after jamming his shoulder on that ninth-inning diving play yesterday.
Okay. I might've added some context. :)
