Dice-K struggled with his command a little on Saturday night and even pitched primarily out of the stretch for an iinning or two. He was bailed out by Jason Varitek. Tek’s homer was the difference and revived the Red Sox bats on their way to a 9-4 win. Manny Delcarmen was nothing short of spectacular again last night and reallly seems to be taking to his role nicely. Is their a better back end of a bullpen right now? You have Delcarmen in the 7th, Hideki Okajima in the 8th inning and Jonathan Papelbon in the 9th. I really don’t think you can find a trio as dominant in the American League.Let’s take a look at the headlines from the Toronto and Boston area media on this Sunday morning.
