Boston is playing right now against Seattle with a 2 to 1 lead in the 6th inning; and faces the Yanks in Fenway with a "post-season preview" when Joba Chamberlain squares off against Josh Beckett to kick-off the 3 game set on Friday night. Joba says he is primed and ready for it.
Joba could hit the first batter, like he did against the A's and went onto a 1 run game. It would allow him to then throw some high and tight heat, followed by that swooping curve for a strike at will. After all, Pedro did it in the past when he hit 2 Yankees; Jeter and Soriano. Either way Joba has a full arsenal in which to choose from as he faces Josh Beckett - the League's Ace.
Manny Ramirez may not be around and is out of today’s line-up with a sore knee. Welcome to the Year of the Injury. Afterwards the Red Sox face the Angles who just swept them last weekend.
Joe "The Scrapper" Girardi's Yankee Team.
Mr. Girardi has made effective moves on this injured Yankee team so far with changing the line up when feasible, and plans to get Moeller more swings as well because he has an offensive edge on Molina.
Made available today is news that Jorge Posada is considering not having surgery and either platooning at first or DH’g. You can never have too many bats, and this team needs all the ones they can get.
The Yanks still have Hughes, and Bruney coming back in a couple of weeks – along with the highly awaited return of Wang, who’s a hopeful for September.
