Minnesota (77-82) at Boston (92-65)

7:05pm ET, Daisuke Matsuzaka (14-12, 4.48 ERA) vs. Kevin Slowey (4-0, 4.57 ERA)

Tonight, it's going to be all about which Dice-K we get. He's pitching on five days rest (last start 9/22 @ TB). TPTB seem to be trying to get him some extra rest heading into the playoffs so I really think his next start will really give us an indicator as to whether or not he's going to be useful this postseason.

He seems like he has the same dead-arm syndrome that Jeemer got and that many Japanese pitchers get when they cross the pond. Either way, they generally make an adjustment before their second season so I'm feeling great about him in the long run.

The MFY throw out the Moose against Jon "You're Not Our" Leicester (LEH-ster...wierd, huh?) so we've all got to hope that they get Bad Moose tonight and not Good Moose.

Fun Fact: In the month of September, Drew is hitting with a .324 BA, .449 OBP, .544 SLG, and a .944 OPS. If only we could pro-rate his contract... I think I'll give Fat Billy a call.
