Dice-K Goes 18-2 as Sox Shutout Toronto, 3-0
Ellsbury ripped a leadoff triple in the 1st and scored on Pedroia's sac fly. Ellsbury had a 3 for 4 day, including 2 doubles. Papi followed one of those doubles with a home run to give the Sox a 3 run lead. Pedroia also hit a league leading 52nd double and stole 3rd base, taboot. Oki pitched a 1-2-3 8th inning, and Pap got his 40th save.
The Sox did their job today, a Yankee loss tonight in their last game in the House That was Built for Ruth will put the Sox in the postseason, and send the pinstripers to dusting off their golf clubs.
TBS also noted at the end of the game that the Yankee-Sox finale at Fenway next Sunday is one of four games that could be broadcast that day.
Minnesota beat Tampa Bay 4-1 today, leaving only the Sox only 1.5 games out of 1st.

"the House That was Built for Ruth"
I prefer "The Dump that Ruth took" :-Þ
Just a reminder, I'm auctioning off a bunch of Red Sox memorabilia and the auctions are ending tonight. I've got some great autographed bats and balls, so anyone who might be interested please take a look :)

Thanks! ^_^
that game gave me some confidence in the dice-man for the playoffs.
Pedro used to say that he would throw any pitch on any count... Well, I think Dice-K's super power is that he isn't afraid to throw JUNK on any count. =P
He has a truly unique pitching style (especially here in North America) but it works very well for him. We're lucky to have him! ^_^
Hey, I thought you were off to the motherland!
I leave at 8:20 in the AM tomorrow, ...have to be at the airport at 6:45 ouch. Fenway tour at 9:00am on Tuesday, possible game on Wed. and bleacher seat on Thursday. I will bring good West Coast weather with me.
