Dice-K was not treated well in Manchester, NH. The Portland Sea Dogs starter gave up 5 runs in 2 innings to the NH Fisher Cats as crowds of Red Sox fans packed MerchantsAuto.com stadium.
Hard to tell what this means on the road back to Fenway for the Dice-man. I believe he is scheduled for a Triple-A start later this week. After that, he gets re-evaluated & can certainly be part of the September call-ups.
The Sox rotation - this week - consists of Lester, Beckett, Buchholz, Byrd & Tazawa. Who would have thought this for September 1st? Tim Wakefield made a great start against the White Sox, but looks headed back to the DL unless his back responds to a cortisone shot today. Dice-K has suffered from "WBC" arm & has not been a factor all year.
Let's hope Dice can put it together & get back in the rotation by mid-September. We need all hands on deck for this last month.
