The Dice K Express....

I have said it before and I will say it again, Dice K's starts are like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are gonna get.  You can count on them being short, and you can count on them having alot of walks and baserunners.  So far Dice-K's formula has netted him a team best 9-1 record.  A little different look as Terry Francona is trying to get a jump on some players pre-All-Star rest. 

Here are the line-ups....

2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. J.D. Drew, RF
