Game preview from Redsox.com:

David Wells, coming off a vintage performance against the Orioles, now has the challenge of duplicating that feat on Monday night at Fenway Park.

 

Back come the O's to open up a three-game series in Boston. Last Wednesday at Camden Yards, Wells fired eight innings of three-hit shutout ball against the normally heavy-hitting O's.

 

After losing two out of three to the Devil Rays over the weekend, the Sox will try to get rolling again at Fenway, where they went 6-2 on their first homestand.

 

Left-hander Bruce Chen will pitch for the American League East-leading O's.

 

Pitching matchup

BAL: LHP Bruce Chen

• 1-1, 3.38 ERA in 2005

• 0-1, 7.11 ERA in 2005 vs. BOS

 

BOS: LHP David Wells

• 2-2, 3.51 ERA in 2005

• 1-0, 0.00 ERA in 2005 vs. BAL

 

Player to watch

Third baseman Bill Mueller, who has missed five of the last six games with flu-like symptoms and a respiratory illness, is expected to return to the lineup.

 

Quotable

"[David] Ortiz hit some big home runs here. Those balls weren't hit softly. I'm on deck, and I have to go up and hit after that. He's the big cat." -- Sox first baseman Kevin Miller on Ortiz's weekend launch party at Tropicana Field

 

Interesting to note that Wells' stellar start of the season came against Baltimore. Let's hope he can keep it up.

When was the last time TWO lefties started a game in Fenway? Good to hear Billy will be back in the lineup. Maybe Payton will get the nod, and receive a nice hand for his granny. Didn't DLowe pitch his no-no around this date a few years back? Maybe Wells can follow suit.

Well, since Chen is a lefty like you said, I don't think Nixon will be in the starting lineup, especially since lefties are hitting .150 off of him this season and Trot couldn't hit a beachball with a tennis racket if it was thrown from the left side.

It's overcast and a bit ansty, but not raining. It was earlier on in the day. Rain south/west usually means its coming our way though....

 

On a related note...Manny was named AL player of the week:

http://netsports.baseball.com/default.asp?c=baseball&page=mlb/news/AAN3865358.htm

 

Not sure how reliable that link is considering it says Manny is a right fielder. I know they aren't lieing when they say Manny won the award, but he certainly isn't a right fielder. So maybe the site just doesn't know their facts.

Welcome back. They were just syndicating the news from this site: http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=/mlb/news/AAN3865358.htm it appears. Sportsnetwork is a pretty established website, I dont know how they could get Manny's position mixed up.

on the lineup on RedSox.Com they have vazquez at 3B again so I guess Billy isn't 100% just yet....get healthy!!!!!

 

EDIT: but I don't think they're right because they have Millar in LF, Manny @ DH, and ortiz @ 1B...

 

:wtf:

Let me get this straight. We trounce the D-Rays last night, and now we're losing by 3 in the early going to the Orioles? Inconsistency much?

He's obviously laboring out there. Wells usually throws pitch after pitch at a good clip, but he's really slowed down. It's getting to be 30 seconds between pitches now. Something is definitely not right with him.

Oh, and can we send Renteria with Vazquez? I wanted Renteria gone the second his pen hit that paper. Truthfully, I'm shocked he even hit the paper with his pen.
