Red Sox manage not to lose on the road

Today was the first day in awhile in which I woke up and saw that the Red Sox did not lose to an inferior team on the road. Obviously, they didn't play last night and they desperately needed that day off. With the injury bug hitting many of  the regulars, a day off is always welcome. I know every team in baseball plays better at home than on the road, but it seems like the Red Sox are two different teams. I can't begin to imagine a solution to this problem, but hopefully a four day trip to Baltimore is the answer. 

On another note,  it doesn't seem like Dice-K injury is that serious. He will probably miss a start maybe go on the DL for two weeks, then come back rested and ready to go. The bottom line is that the guy is throwing too many pitches because of all the walks. His innings count is not that high (64) but his pitch count is over 100 in 7 of 10 appearances. Now, Dice-K needs to throw strikes, but Francona needs to learn how to count. Dice-K has a lot of milage on his arm and Francona uses him, in my opinion, carelessly. Francona needs to protect this guy, because without him the Red Sox have a very average pitching staff.  The rest of the staff has been a bit inconsistent and injured so let's try to protect the health of the guy who is 8-o with a 2.53 ERA please.
