Rojo v. Blanco--the Battle of the Hosiery (8/23 - 8/26)

Josh Beckett v. John Danks
Curt Schilling v. Jon Garland
Tim Wakefield v. Mark Buehrle
Julian Tavarez v. Javier Vazquez
The only game that scares me a little is the Vazquez game. Danks and Garland are atrocious and the Red Sox destroy Buehrle. The White Sox have a terrible offense.
Sweep these fools and then sweep the Yankees.

The weather looks absolutely awful there, which really sucks for a few reasons:
1.) Beckett vs. Danks should be a win and we'd pick up a half game on the idle Yankees.
2.) The pitching matchups were setup perfectly for the Yankees series and we were set to throw Matsuzaka, Beckett and Schilling. A rain out or two could mess that up.

Ortiz with two homeruns. Nice to see.

Red Sox sweep the doubleheader and the Yankees lose in 11 innings on a walkoff HR at 3:30 AM. Good night (so to speak).

This is what I'm talking about! Finally the offense is firing on all cylinders again!

Why Peter King is a football "expert" and not a baseball one...
From today's MMQB:
g. The Red Sox scored 46 runs in 51 hours in their four-game sweep in Chicago, thanks in large part to David Ortiz finally starting to hit. For a few months, he was producing an awful lot like Brian Daubach.
Ortiz' monthly splits:
April .297 .402 .615
May .333 .459 .540
June .326 .439 .539
July .330 .427 .568
August .337 .454 .640
That Daubach must have been one hell of a player; much better than the Quad-A utility hitter I remember him as.

Heck I'd take some Daubach production from JD Drew at this point, but I agree King needs to stick to football.

Ortiz has been a monster this year. So he's not going to hit 50 HR. Big deal. He's gonna hit 50 doubles and walk 110 times. He could very well have his best season yet.
