Daisuke Matsuzaka to start game 1 of ALCS
Terry Francona has pegged Daisuke Matsuzaka as the starter for game 1 of the ALCS against the Rays on Friday. This is a pretty good plan by Tito because Lester would be on short rest, and Beckett probably needs some extra rest. If either one of them started, then Daisuke would get a LOT of [...]

Last night’s game became an instant Red Sox classic. It started with Jon Lester being nothing short of dominating. He went 7 strong innings, giving up only a handful of hits and no runs. Dustin Pedroia got his first hit of the series by banging an RBI double off the wall in the 5th inning. [...]
