We should take at least 3 of 4.

What happened to Romero vs Lester? Also why is Monday's game at 11am?

Yeah we were also suppose to sweep last series as well.

I think if anything it will be split.

Well, it will be something...

Cecil (with reduced velocity), Reyes, and Litsch at Fenway Park doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, regardless of how bad the Red Sox are playing.

i'ts possible that the BOS pitching rotation will be altered due to yesterday's rainout. Matsuzaka may be out, and Lackey may be in.

Avenger · Post #10 » by **Avenger** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 7:46 pm

It has already been changed. Lackey will be skipped Buchholz will pitch the opener, followed by Beckett, Lester and Matsuzaka.

Feels like a split. I have a bad feeling the sox are gonna start winning though.

Isn't there some sort of holiday in the States?

Or is it due to the Boston Marathon?

would love if we could take this series..lets go!

I just hope this isn't the series where Boston turns it around.

Yeah...it seems to me they killed us out first trip in last year if i remember correctly. I'd gladly take a split on these 4 games. No shame in that. It's not like we've been playing real well.

They swept us the year we had a 3.5 game lead in the division. I have assumed we will lose every game we play against them ever since. They will definitely turn it around against us. 4 game sweep coming up.

Fourth game of the series is Romero vs. Dice-K. We'll be hard-pressed to lose that one.
