It Was Over Before it Started

Byrd and Tazawa combined to give up 12 runs and 17 hits in six innings last night. It was a stinker and there is not much else to say.

The Yankees lost (of course a day we lost too). Texas won and Tampa also lost.

Wake pitches today and with Tazawa being worked last night and Wake's back questionable the team called up Michael Bowden. Marcus McBeth was cut to make room on the on the 40-man roster.

Dice-K's line last night in Pawtucket: 4 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, BB, 2 HRs, 67 pitches (43 strikes). Will his next start be in Boston?
