Boston Red Sox v Tampa Bay Rays 9/16

[Mr Crunchy]

the shorter the series the more essential the ace becomes.

we have the best money guy ive seen in the business in some time while theyve got a handfull of 2s and 3s,their bullpen is now somewhat shaky,Krod is very beatable inspite of his save record.

we have some problems,our lefty bat situation and the bridge to paplebon are questionable but oki has pitched fairly well since the break and inspite of masterson getting beat last night,hes done pretty good.

anaheim will be the favorite but not a big favorite,winning game 1 out there will bury them.

3 out of the last 4 games against the Rays have been crushing losses. Beckett has had 2 solid starts vs Tampa Bay in the past week, with his offense only supporting a total of 2 runs! Hopefully can Wake can right the ship with his dominating record against the Rays
