Man your pitching was incredible in the Cleveland series and in the game against Detroit. Hopefully that can propel you to first place in the division.

Dice-K has been a major surprise so far as we head towards Memorial Day. Even Lackey has shown to be much better here than RL. I hope that the pitching can continue to lead the way.

On tap next week for Red Sox
May 30,31,June 1 - vs. Chicago White Sox
June 3,4,5 - vs. Oakland

A "calm before the storm" as we have a brief 6-game homestand before our next road trip: 3 @ NY, 3 @ Toronto, 3 @ Tampa Bay.

NOTE: You see a 7-1 record for last week's games. That is due to not including Okajima in the previous week's team stats.
