Dear Red Sox Batters:
Please keep the hits coming and get the Dice Man a much-deserved win. The guy has been pitching his ass off and you’ve scored three runs in his last three starts. Keep last night’s train rolling. The guy pitching against you has good stuff, but think about it. He’s 22 years young and will be walking into the single most frenzied atmosphere he will ever experience, unless he someday starts the 7th game of the World Series. The roller coaster pitch of the crowd between the love for Dave Roberts and the disgust for Barry Bonds has got to be unnerving. Not to mention having to face guys like Manny, Papi and Pedroia – yeah Pedroia of the five-hits-a-night Pedroia’s.
Have at it…
