I'll also go out on another limb and predict that spring will be followed by summer.

Over/under on number of fastballs that hit Jeter on the hand this series has to be 2
that's no shock, at least IMO.
So if Nuno is the #5, Tanaka must be the #1, since we are Tanaka-Pineda-CC-Kuroda-Nuno at the moment. :-)
I'll hope he can stick but man he has zero room for error.

Now to try to finish work so I can enjoy the fireworks...
He is eventually going to get lit up, I'd hate it if the first time came in Fenway.
If they used their heads in 2004 on Tony Clark's double where Sierra could have crawled home that collapse never happens
RBI Jeter
1-0
SUCK IT Lester
SUCK IT Lester.
Of course he's getting booed. Only in Boston.
I hope Masahiro keeps it up, I'm liking what I'm seeing.
It's called a strike zone John. Unlike the Yankees universe, it is not infinite.
Yup, Lester has a fair gripe, they were balls but Tanaka got a couple of those
Or, maybe not. Hustle, Fonzie, jeez!
Yup that's criminal. Soriano should have been standing on 3rd
What was that idiot fan thinking? They sure make them special at Fenway.
I think Lester is going to cry.
4-0
This inning, Tex hits a little bloop for an RBI double
So true. But he can still pick 'em.
Time to get Lester out of this game now.
4-2

That's how most home runs are hit in baseball when pitchers leave things up
Get your shit down T
I still say someone needs to chin-music his fat ass every time he plants in the box.
We need to make him pay for this because this is about as bad as he is ever going to pitch.
Congrats to Pujols with number 500.
Watching Teix run like Nelson Santiago is great TV.
This has to be one of the best games we've had against Lester.
7-2
What a player!
Cap with a Jeterian Blast!
8-2
Scherzer I wouldn't want either. 30+ year olds long term deals as pitchers is not smart business.
Hopefully he's learned his lesson that you can't do that against the Sox at Fenway
With Ortiz you throw the pitch that reminds him the least of cake.
Same goes for McCann of course coming from he NL, he's not used to calling a Fenway game
That's a strong 7 from Tanaka, and not even to 90 pitches yet
Nice 7 for Tanaka.
9-2
Makes me cry to think what he'd have been with us all these years. How many intelligent sports writers have gone on record as saying he is one of the best talents they've ever seen. How did someone not lock him down (KC, HOU, NYM, STL)?
exactly.
Betances cued up for the no leverage innings.
Betances ready for 1.2 innings.
2 BBs, 35 Ks in 4 starts (unreal)
Girardi has a man crush on David Phelps.
Betances K's PEDroia and Shrek.
That hook is nasty.
Someone please defend how Girardi is handling him, would love to hear it
McCann with another Fenway single. That is three oppo hits. He is locked in.
agree with both points.
Great play by Solarte!
Love this kid. Love this kid.
Are we really going to let Ryan on this team?
9-3
FTW.
This guy does not accept any form of failure. His translator is intimidated.
