As Red sox Nation copes with this flu bug that has hit the team, we should not expect that Tampa Bay is necessarily the cure.
These guys have been playing .500 ball. Facing Garza, Jackson and Shields this weekend is no easy task. The pitching staff has thrown the ball well. Troy Percival as closer is a big improvement over last year, too. Offensively, Crawford, BJ Upton and Carlos Pena are solid offensive players. Their thirdbaseman of the present and future is here and his name is Evan Longoria. He is a stud. I saw him play for Chatham in the Cape Cod League four summers ago and he has some serious tools.
So let's hope to take two out of three this weekend. Wake in a dome tonight may be our best bet. His numbers versus these guys at the Trop is pretty unbelieveable.
