The first of only 3 remaining weekday games at Fenway this afternoon, Dice-K goes for AL leading 8th win as he inches closer to snatching the ERA AL leader spot from the Indian's lefty Cliff Lee. The Sox are looking for their 7th consecutive victory and a series sweep before heading out to the doldrums of10 PM EST starts-- otherwise known as a road trip to the AL West.
Its been 7 days since Manny's last homerun, so all eyes will be on #24 as he tries to join the 500 club before his 36th birthday next Friday. He's homer-less in 26 at bats going into this afternoon's game-- with 3 consecutive strike outs last night. WTG Manny!!
Do you think the pressure's on??
