No this is not a movie review.
The Sox need their ace to step up today and stop a losing streak. The Rays, as predicted in the previous blog, are a tough team. Josh Beckett takes the mound today and the Sox must avoid the sweep. After getting swept in Toronto and splitting in NY, we don't want to be 1-7 in the division on the road. Lord Beckett should show his worth today and dominate the Rays.
Here's the perfect day. Offensively, the Sox make Shields throw a lot of pitches and by the fifth or sixth inning get to him for about four or five runs. Of course we need to get some timely hits for a change. Beckett holds them to two or three through seven. Oki pitches a scoreless eighth and Papelbon closes the door in the ninth. Simple enough.
Clemens and Pedro stopped many of losing streaks in past seasons. Our present ace needs to do the same.
