If Boston didn't have ridiculous luck with their bullpen it wouldn't have mattered... anyway I'm off-topic. This comment is utterly useless but I'm gonna post it anyway. I'm sorry.adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02205375069396286222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-64642227571298534612008-10-09T10:51:04.206-04:002008-10-09T10:51:04.206-04:00<A HREF="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081009&content_id=3605351&vkey=ps2008news&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb&partnerId=rss_mlb" REL="nofollow">Kuo on, Saito off</A>; rest of LA roster same as NLDS.Vegas Watchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02353166004125421683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-33199712808542241752008-10-09T09:42:15.340-04:002008-10-09T09:42:15.340-04:00re: Red Sox rotation-<BR/><BR/>I agree, I don't think DiceK in G2 is a good idea. I thought Boston was going to go Beckett-Lester-DiceK. But Francona in his press conference yesterday mentioned that "not having someone go on 8 days rest/having as many guys as possible go on "normal" rest" was a big concern. So I guess they believe that the downside of how DiceK might pitch with too much rest outweighed the upside of going with your best two guys in the first two games.Gray's Sports Almanachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631203277350903908noreply@blogger.com
