Jon Lester. Whoopee! In case you haven't seen Lester's career numbers against the Orioles, here you go:
| Split | W | L | W-L% | ERA | G | GS | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | IBB | SO | WHIP | SO/9 | SO/BB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lester vs. Baltimore Orioles | 10 | 0 | 1.000 | 2.22 | 13 | 13 | 81.0 | 79 | 20 | 20 | 6 | 27 | 0 | 66 | 1.309 | 7.3 | 2.44 |
And Jeremy Guthrie vs the Red Sox?
| Split | W | L | W-L% | ERA | G | GS | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | IBB | SO | WHIP | SO/9 | SO/BB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guthrie vs. Boston Red Sox | 1 | 5 | .167 | 4.72 | 13 | 12 | 74.1 | 88 | 44 | 39 | 14 | 34 | 2 | 41 | 1.641 | 5.0 | 1.21 |
So there's that. Anyone else going to be there tonight? I'll be aiming to drink enough that the roar of the Red Sox fans' cheers are dulled, but not so much that I get angry and start yelling at them. It's a delicate balance.
