det is obviously off to as slow a start as anyone in the history of baseball while the Sox haven't looked particularly sharp of late. I cant imagine the tigers will have pudge lead off again, he is probably the worst possible lead off hitter in the league considering how few pitches he sees per AB. the best way to beat dice-k is to be patient, will the tigers be patient? the red sox lineup is pricey, but they didn't hit real well this past weekend....granted they faced more talented pitching than they'll see today. who are we on?
