I have read around the forums Kuroda has a dead arm...This is the biggest series of the year for NY. Boston has a comfortable lead...Anyone have thoughts ?

Hiroki is on 5 days rest but tossed a season high 117 pitches last game. If my memory serves me correctly that is usually disastrous for the pitcher.

Superstitious ?

FREAKY FRIDAY: The Sox are 49-30-1 (.620) all-time in games played on Friday the 13th (Elias)...They have won all 3 Friday the 13th games since the start of 2011, including both last season (4/13 home opener, 12-2 over TB; 7/13, 3-1 at TB).
