If Lackey pitches well tomorrow, it means they've got five aces!
Hopefully, Dice-K has turned the corner. Either that, or he just took advantage of a tired team, at the end of a long 10-game road trip, we'll see...
I hope you're right, but he was working on six days rest today. Dice-K historically is better on five or more days of rest, which is what he was used to in Japan.Either way, as #5 starters go, Dice-K isn't all bad.

Also, considering what he makes it kinda hard to think of him as a fifth starter...
After 18 days of baseball, the Cleveland Indians have the best record in the American League! Wow!
Oh, guess who's back as of yesterday after being sidelined on and off with injuries for the last 2 years? Grady Sizemore! All G-Size did in his debut was go 2 for 4 with a double and a homer. Can this club really be for real?!

What is the combined ERA for the last six starts by Beckett, Lester, Lackey and Dice-K? About 1. something?
Last year, the Red Sox started the season with some of its heralded starting pitchers injured, and by the time they got well, Ellsbury, Pedroia and Youkilis were all losing substantial portions of their seasons due to injury.
The biggest difference between last year and this year isn't the quality of personel. They have the same starting five and spot starter, and the same closer and primary set-up man. Their offense has replaced the outputs of Beltre, Martinez and Cameron with Gonzales, Saltalamacchia and Crawford, which is a wash. The difference, for now, is that they are all starting the season healthy. That is good for their long run prospects but it is sobering to note that now that all of their cylinders are clicking, they have become just a .500 team over their last ten games.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig told Frank McCourt on Wednesday he will appoint a trustee to oversee all aspects of the business and the day-to-day operations of the club. At the same time, Frank McCourt was preparing to sue MLB, a baseball executive familiar with the situation told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because McCourt had not made any statements.

How in hell can this team be in last place?
Sox starters are 4-0 with a 1.15 ERA in their last turn of the rotation. The current run marks the first time since 1947 that a Red Sox team has had five straight starts of at least five innings and no more than one run allowed in the same season.
