As we wake up this morning, say good bye to interleague play and check the standings, the Red Sox are currently in second place behind the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Sox finish up a ten game road trip with series against the Rays and Yankees. To win five out of seven over the next week would suffice. We have Masterson (v Shields), Wakefield (v Garza) and Dice K (v Kazmir) going against Tampa the next three nights.
For some odd reason the Sox are not consistently hitting versus other team's relievers. The winning formula used to be wear down the starter and then light up the bull pen. The rays pen has performed well but are not dominating.
Suggestion time -- move Pedroia to lead off, bat Youk second and move Ellsbury down.
Sean McAdams in the Providence Journal today reported that Manny shoved a Sox employee to the ground after learning that his request for 16 tickets to a game may not be met.
Let's hope the Sox are feisty this week.
