The Red Sox beat the Yankees in an ugly, ugly Sunday night game, 8-5.

According to the Associated Press, "The Red Sox began the game with a pitcher who couldn’t find the plate. The Yankees ended it with a catcher who couldn’t even throw... Daisuke Matsuzaka walked six batters and barely made it through the fifth inning, but was bailed out by the bullpen... There were 14 walks, two wild pitches, one passed ball and two steals on which sore-armed Jorge Posada—who took over for an injured Jose Molina— didn’t even throw in the eighth when Boston padded its lead. And Yankees starter Phil Hughes lasted a career-low two innings and allowed a career-high seven runs."

I was hoping that this year would be different for Dice-K but he still seems to be having early innings issues. I'm still not convinced he was a great purchase.
