The Boston Series

SPORTING GOODS

I see that Dice-K will now pitch the afternoon game at Fenway after yesterday's rainout. The question arises: Who will pitch this evening? Will Francona still go with Hansack and his lovely 13.5 ERA, or will he see some sense and try someone else? My candidate? Kyle Snyder. He's only pitched 13 innings this season, has an ERA under 2.0, and certainly has had experience as a starter. I realize that desperate times (in this case, Beckett's injury) call for yadda yadda, but starting Devern Hansack seems to be beyond the scope of desperation.

By the way, the sports quote of the day has to be A-Rod's response to his team's struggles at the plate: "It's puzzling."
