Game 54 - Red Sox v. A's (@Fenway)

Good news, the Red Sox have now won 4 in a row over teams that they should be beating (Royals and A's) and have moved ahead of Toronto for 3rd in the AL East (and 2.5 games out of the Wild Card).

Better news, Dice-k was actually fairly effective today. He wasn't lights out by any means, but the 7K's and no walks are encouraging coming from a guy that tends to most of his pitches nibble around the plate. He seems to be pitching more aggressively this year, although interestingly enough, his strike/pitches ratio is only 0.61, a number that's a low for him over his 4 year career with the Red Sox. His walks/9innings are down too, which leads me to think that he's getting more movement on his pitches which is leading to getting hitters to swing at more pitches out of the strike zone?

Best news, my team's computers arrived today :)
