Nice

This little tidbit comes from Yahoo! sports:

"The last time Indians pitcher Jake Westbrook faced the Red Sox was in Game 7 of the 2007 ALCS. Tonight in Cleveland, Westbrook looks to continue the stellar pitching that he has produced in two starts this season (2.76 ERA, one walk in 16 1/3 innings). The righty has allowed one hit in 12 career at-bats (including playoffs) against Boston slugger David Ortiz, who has struggled so far in 2008 and is just 1-for-7 with two strikeouts in at-bats that ended on Westbrooks fastball. The changeup is the only pitch besides the fastball that Westbrook has thrown to Ortiz more than five times, and Big Papi has been retired on all five of Westbrook’s changeups that he has put in play."

Hopefully the "Curse of The Big Papi Jersey That Some Idiot Buried in Yankee Stadium" will continue. I should really take a few words out of that.
