Two slams protects another “Dice”-y job

The baseball gods keep smiling on Dice-K. How else do you explain 432 walks and 17,344 pitches? The fact that Dice-K is 8-0 is incredibly deceiving to people who don’t read box scores.

In other words, how ’bout that run support?

Two grand slams by Drew (who must have a non-aching knee cap) and Lowell (washed up, WUT now!?). I’m impressed. Not as impressed as I was seeing Colon get out there and look all smug when he gets a strikeout (incidentally, that same look made me want to throw something at the television when he was doing it for the Angels).

The Sox have a great amount of momentum heading out West where they’ll either be met with a really angry and pumped Oakland team or a rolling over, playing dead group who really wish they’d just get this thing over only to realize that they aren’t even at the All-Star break yet.

I’m not one of those people who makes it past the third inning when they start at 10PM, but I’m more comfortable knowing they head out West riding a seven game winning streak and a rested Varitek.
