game 41 - Phillies game 3

Dinardo goes to the mound today, from Baseball Musings we see that he has pitched only once in his career against the Phillies and that was in a relief appearance 2 years ago. He pitched less than 2 innings with an era of 10.80. His starts for the Red Sox have actually been pretty decent and he is coming off of his first Major League win. Tito has benched Ortiz today to put out his best infield since Lenny is a ground ball pitcher.

Lidle has never pitched against the Sox as a Philly but has made 6 starts and 5 relief appearances with the Mets, Tampa, Oakland and Toronto. He is 1 and 2 with a lifetime era of 6.75. With these numbers I am not expecting a 1 - 0 game today.
