Prev. Gm:

Boston Red Sox (2-1) @ Tampa Bay Rays (2-1) Daisuke Matsuzaka (1-0, 5.40) @ James Shields (1-0, 4.26) 8:37 PM EDT | Tropicana Field (St. Petersburg, FL) B/R Ticket Guide Powered by FanSnap.com TV: TBS RADIO: WRKO 680, ESPN

GAME NOTES: Daniel Rathman: The bad news is that the Sox went 1-8 in their nine games at Tropicana Field during the regular season, and they came out on the losing end both times James Shields was on the hill for the Rays. The good news is that none of that matters a whit heading into tonight’s Game 1. Joe Maddon’s was the superior team of the two from April to September, but this is October, the Sox’s time to shine. Tonight’s Game 1 could set the tone for the entire series, just as it did against the Angels in the ALDS. Keep the clutch hits and Web Gems coming, and I’ll be confident enough to say: BRING ON THE RAYS.
