GAME NOTES: Dice-K rebounded from a subpar start last week to put an excellent effort forth last night. Can Lester do the same? An effective Lester will mean the world to us this year, so let’s hope he can put it together today. Daniel Rathman and I are getting together for dinner in the Back Bay/Northeastern area Saturday night for some chow and for me to meet my third Fire Brander (already met Sean O and Chris C, who pops in from time to time). If any of you guys want to join in, e-mail me at evanATmvn.com.
