Can't help but root for the guy he's making his first MLB start in the greatest city in the world.

 

Agreed.

After some internal debate, the Red Sox have decided to replace on knuckleballer with another. Charlie Zink will make his major league debut Tuesday at Fenway, filling in for Tim Wakefield, who will be placed on the disabled list.

 

"This is everything I have ever dreamed of," said Zink moments ago. "It has come true now and I'm going to the major leagues. It's ridiculous. I'm at a loss for words. I really don't know what to say about it. I'll be smiling forever now. This is just awesome. Awesome."

Hopefully dude can come up big and have 2 great starts. Let's see some Aaron Small second comings here. This kid has the potential to become the most beloved guy in Boston.

[Bostonownsyou]

Agreed.

Thanks, great article it seems he's waited his whole life for this chance. With Tim hurt and Clay struggling we could always use a guy like him to step up to be a 5th starter especially now.

If this kid shits the bed, $5 you're the first to want to run him out of Boston.

By "s***ing the bed" you mean "allowing a run", right?

I think tonight could very well be the highest-scoring game the Sox play all year

For a team thats struggled on the road, its good to see a 4-3 road trip. Solid game by Beckett, starting to look like his 2007 self. Lowrie has been clutch with RISP, notably with the bases loaded (4 for 8). So far this month he has driven in 13 runs
