Hot Dawg Posts: 1115 08/16/08 11:11 AM Dawg in Training	Tags : None Well, I'm calling this game #124 since that's what shows on the Fenway tix? Looking forward to seeing Byrd in his first start, but Halladay is always a tough one. Here's the matchup: Red Sox: Making his first start with the Sox since arriving in Tuesday's trade, Byrd will look to keep his current streak of strong starts going in Boston against the Jays. Byrd is 4-0 since the All-Star break, with a 1.24 ERA in that span, making him a strong addition for Boston's stretch run. Given the current state of the team's rotation, either working through stints on the disabled list (Bartolo Colon and Tim Wakefield) or struggling to find a rhythm (Clay Buchholz), the durable veteran is exactly what the Sox were looking for at this point in the season to bolster their starting five. Blue Jays: Halladay toiled through a career-high 130 pitches in a loss at home to the Indians on Saturday, but he is being given an extra day of rest in order to start the opener against the Red Sox. In his last outing, Halladay lasted 6 2/3 innings -- a short outing for the innings eater -- and surrendered four runs on 10 hits. Only one run was earned for Halladay, who has received just 3.8 runs of support from his offense this season. Halladay is 10-11 with a 4.66 ERA in 34 career games against Boston. Not a bad combination........... Joan Last Edited By: wallysgurl 08/16/08 8:51 PM. Edited 1 time.

While that was my thought earlier in the season, I believe what was actually done is the game stayed numbered with the record... that way is a bit easier, especially with a delayed replay like we will have this time (game being played a few weeks from now). It will be hard to remember which game number the replayed game should be numbered or to find that old thread again. That being said, I can't wait to see our newest pitcher... GO SOX... and let's keep the offense turned on. Steven P. Underwood, DNRC Whitinsville, MA

White puffy clouds and blue sky as far as I can see. Hopefully this pattern holds for Fenway. UPDATE: 18:30 and the sun is still out but a large dark cloud overhead is providing our daily light shower. Steven P.

I think it's the jinx of the red uniforms Edit: spoke too soon, there goes a triple. Bah. And here comes the bullpen. Joan Last Edited By: wallysgurl 08/16/08 8:54 PM. Edited 2 times.

Hot Dawg Posts: 1195 08/17/08 9:48 AM Wistah Dawg	Byrd pitched ok, in my opinion. His first start for a team. He gave the Sox 7.1 innings. His problem was he was going up against Halladay. That's a tough assignment for anyone. "I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes" - Charles Swindoll
