Man, I'm glad Cliffy got out of that. He makes me nervous lately.
Is Dustin available/healthy enough to pitch tonight? He hasn't seen action since NY I believe.

Thats the thing with Garcia...I just dont see the #1/2 type starter in him that most claim he is...just looks kinda bleh to me everytime I see him.
Yet somehow he has an ERA of 3.69.

So you're saying he'd be a great playoff pitcher?
Assuming we get home field in round 1...game 3 should be his.

You mean like Justin Morneau, Michael Ryan, and Jason Bartlett?
I believe Morneau had a great 1/2 year last year, to the point that they traded Mientkewicz because of him.
So...let's take some bets....
Who'll give me a bet on how many runs Freddy gives up in the first inning?
Who'll give me a bet on how many SoxTalk posters say Freddie is terrible when he gives up a run in the first?

WHy is JD out? And why is Timo in..
Because Dye is hitting a cool .148 against Radke while Timo is hitting .294 against him in his career.
Timo will sit tomorrow against the lefty. But can it really hurt to give Dye a day off against a pitcher he's struggled against?
