OK, OK, so the Sox couldn't quite close the deal in the finale at Yankee Stadium, losing 3-2 in the 9th. Their old nemesis, Giambi, stepped up and bit them again, accounting for all of the Stripes' runs.
But, last night in the Fens, the Sox got back to their winning ways, 8-0, over the Pale Hose. You don't have to know much and I'm not going to do my usual length reportage here (it's my birthday, you see, and the family are waiting for me). All you have to know is that Dice-K pitched arguably his best start since coming to the Hub last year, going eight shutout innings and allowing only a pair of hits and just two, count 'em, walks, while sending seven members of the Chisox back to the dugout with a K next to their names. The Diceman was awesome.
Added to that was the performance by the Sox offense, led by Pedroia. Dusty went 4-4, including another double, while Bay knocked in a few ribbies, and others chimed in as well. All in all, a great return to the Fens. Oh, yes--lest we forget, Jenn's favorite, Timlin, pitched a perfect 9th to close things out.
