April 19th @ Toronto (Manny starts a big comeback)

[redsoxrules]

Also lost in the comeback was how well Tavarez pitched today' date=' I will take his outting 10/10 times as the 5th starter. He was in complete control until the 6th, and was dueling Halladay pitch for pitch for a good portion of the game. If he can pitch like this, there is no need for Hansack, and we can just wait it out until Lester is ready. Which by most accounts could be sometime in early to mid May.[/quote']

 

agree il take that anyday for a #5 starter

[BoSox21]

personally, I'll take Tavarez as the 5th starter if it means we got a guy like Hansack in case, god forbid, an injury occurs to the rotation

Manny finally came alive. Just in time, Fanf***ingtastic.

Hopefully this prepels a 6-13 4 HRs 11 RBI weekend.

[Cocos Disciples]

Overall, great win today. Highly favored to lose with Halladay going against Tavarez. 4 runs in the last 2 innings to win. Beautiful. Surpasses the Schilling vs. Texas game as the best of the year.

[riverside sluggers]

Pitcher's duel tomorrow, Curt Schilling vs Andy Pettitte

 

Then...

Josh Beckett vs Jeff Karstens

Daisuke Matsuzaka vs Chase Wrights

 

From these matchups alone, very sad if the Sox can not take 2 out of 3

[jacksonianmarch]

like I said, bet the sox on Sunday, HUGE. We suck against new pitchers.

[Cocos Disciples]

Without looking at the numbers, I'd say we do too.

Yeah, there have been many instances in the past like three years where you couldv'e sworn we were facing Cy Young, a lot of them against the Devil Rays.

Don't be surprised if the Sox manage only 2 or 3 runs against Karstens/Wright. They never EVER hit unfamiliar guys well. See: Kyle "Cy Young" Davies.

you know what would be funny?

 

If the Schilling/Pettitte game turns into a 10-9 affair and the next 2 games are low scoring pitching duels. That would be interesting.

[Peters34]

That would be weird

great win by the sox today. Terrific outing by taveraz going pitch for pitch with Halladay up until the 6th. I'd just like to say that i called both the homeruns today while i was watching the game wtih my cousin (both before the their respective innings had started). A win like this could really give us some strong momentum going into the first yanks series of the year, maybe after this weekend we could see this team start taking on a personality :thumbsup:

I dont know what to think of this weekend. does the lineup from the Angels series show up or the Blue Jays series?

it is in Fenway, so I'd think your bats will be swingin. You are facing a tough pitcher 1st though.

[schillingouttheks]

If the righties in the lineup pull the ball hard, Pettitte is going to have a loooong day.

he has to live on the outside corner with the heater and cut them in. You have one righty I am afraid of. The rest are ehh.

[Ray10]

Great game this afternoon nice to see the Sox come from behind to beat Toronto. Now it's back home to face the Yankees this weekend going to be a good series.

If I were you I'd fear Pedroia too.
