The Red Sox continue to get their playoff roster in order with another win over the Indians 6-2 last night.
Dice-K looked good through 6 innings. He has made a late-year comeback, unexpected by many reporters who thought his season was over when Dice went back to Fort Myers for an extended Spring Training. He is now a solid #3 or #4 starter in the playoffs. It couldn't come at a better time since it looks like the Sox will get the short series.
A late-inning HBP on Gonzalez by Kerry Wood was a concern. It looked like the ball clipped him right under his right wrist. He was taken out of the game. We can't afford to lose Gonzo who has solidified the shortstop position & added offense to the #9 spot in the order.
Other than that, Josh Beckett gets his last tune-up tonight. I hope that he follows suit with good performances by Lester & Dice-K. The playoffs are all about pitching & Lester, Beckett, Dice-K & Buchholz can be as dominating as any other staff.
