In Seattle last night, Dice K worked into the 8th, walking three but striking out 6, throwing 99 pitches on his way to his 11th win, and Boston's 59th on the year. Boston won 4-2, which, combined with another Tampa loss, pulls us within 1/2 game of the lead.
Those pesky Yankees are lurking in the weeds, 3 1/2 games behind. Like the enemy in a horror movie, they are never far from my thoughts.
The only mild shading of the win is that it came over RA Dickey, who is a knuckleballer, at least part time. Like Rob Neyer, I have a soft spot in my heart for knuckleballers.
