With Boston one game in front in the Wild Card Chase (TM), the Red Sox are off today. The White Sox, who lead the Central, are currently involved in a suspended game with the Orioles, who used to be the St. Louis Browns. Minnesota, who trails the Wild Card by one, is in Seattle.
The Red Sox head into the Den of Iniquity, Yankee Bleeping Stadium, for three games with the Yankees starting tomorrow, and then home to face Chicago. Beckett, reportedly, is going to pitch against the White Sox Friday, though obviously that depends on his arm tingliness problem.
From the inimitable Aaron Gleeman, file under "Gee Golly"...
YEAR IP ERA
Dennis Eckersley 1990 73.1 0.61
Jonathan Papelbon 2007 68.1 0.92
Chris Hammond 2002 76.0 0.95
Joe Nathan 2008 55.0 0.98
These are all the pitchers who posted an ERA under 0.99 with more than 55 innings pitched in a season.
Wow.
