    3/26 @ Oakland Athletics ... get outta Japan!!

    Last game in Japan, thank God. Just win the game. Hopefully Lester can keep us in the game long enough to get to Harden... obviously, this pitching matchup isn't very favorable for us. Go Sox!

    ... only for the Sox would I stomach such early wake-ups on spring break.

    Game Info:
    Date: Wednesday, March 26th, 2008
    Teams: Boston Red Sox (1-0) @ Oakland Athletics (0-1)
    First Pitch: 6:05am EDT
    Venue: Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan
    TV: NESN/ESPN 2
    Starting Pitchers:


    #31 Jon Lester (0-0, 0.00)
    #40 Rich Harden (0-0, 0.00)

    Mojo of the day:
    So, Sox, when you leave Japan, be happy... don't look back in anger.

    It's very simple the way we win this game.
    If Lester attacks the strike zone and believes in his stuff, we're golden.

    16 pitches, 9 balls. Lester back up to his old tricks. And he just threw his hardest pitch of the inning at 91mph.

    Harden looks dominant right now, Lester is going to have to hold them down if we are going to win this game.

    Yeah but Nesn also has Harden clocked around 92, so I don't buy those readings at all. They had DiceK at 87 for most of the night yesterday.

    Oasis is probably bad mojo to toss out there. Bad band chemistry.

    I have a feeling Harden is going to wear down, and we will have a good chance of hitting him in the 5th-6th inning.

    Lester hasn't located down in the zone. Over 70 pitches and he's not out of the 3rd inning. I don't know who was giving the positive reports about him from Fort Myers, but I saw the same problems that he has had since he came to the majors. He throws too many pitches, doesn't command the zone and he can't get the ball down.

    This announcer was killing me when he was talking about the new Canseco book and the allegations against ARod. He seems to think Canseco is Jason Giambi. He mentioned that throws from 3rd to first base will be interesting this year, and that the Yankees will have to have a sit down so as not to let the issue "hang out there"

    Good 4th inning by Lester, but he is at 83 pitches through 4 innings. You cannot get too deep into a game with such a lack of efficiency. This A's lineup stinks. He should be tearing through them.
