Schilling aims to tame the Tigers Boston (31-20) at Detroit (36-18), Friday, 7:05 p.m. ET By Mark Polishuk / MLB.com The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry gets all of the headlines and publicity, but the Red Sox and Tigers have an even longer history between them. Boston has won more games against Detroit than any other franchise. The Red Sox are 993-934 against the Tigers in a rivalry that goes all the way back to the foundation of the American League. The series with the Tigers, who entered Thursday leading the AL Central, is the latest in a tough stretch of the schedule for the Red Sox. Boston lost two of three from Toronto to start this 10-game road trip, and after three games with the Tigers, they head to New York for a four-game set with the Yankees. Once returning to Fenway, the Sox square off against the AL West-leading Texas Rangers. Friday's game matches two pitchers with a combined 397 victories and 37 years of Major League experience. Curt Schilling takes the mound for Boston after winning his 200th career game in his last start, a 6-4 win over the Devil Rays. The Red Sox ace has a 4-1 record in his last five starts, though he has seen his season ERA rise over a point to 3.93 in that span. Kenny Rogers looks to rebound after his shortest outing of the season. The left-hander allowed five runs on six hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings on Sunday in a 9-0 loss to Cleveland. Pitching matchup BOS: RHP Curt Schilling (8-2, 3.93 ERA) The veteran right-hander has faced the Tigers only four times in his career, and the results have not been good. He is 1-3 with a 7.20 ERA against Detroit. In his last outing at Comerica Park, Schilling recorded a blown save after allowing four runs in a 7-6 Boston loss. DET: LHP Kenny Rogers (7-3, 3.76 ERA) In 46 career games against Boston, Rogers is 11-7 with a 4.95 ERA. Red Sox batters hold a .283 average against him. Player to watch Manny Ramirez has a .327 (18-for-55) career batting average against Rogers, with two home runs and 12 RBIs.

Did anyone eles when watching the game, see D-Lowe in this guy. I know he struggled a little bit, but stuff wise and his delivery he reminded me a lot of Lowe.

I would take a shot at O-Perez, I mean he cant be worse than Clement, and If Wells gets healthy, we would have a pretty nasty rotation.

Another Reason, why I really feel the Clemens isnt going to pick the Astros is, realisticly, they have no shot at winning, Lidge has sucked, Pettite has sucked, Oswalt has been up and down, Backe is hurt and the Offense lately has been alot like Last year. Why, other than its close to home, would he want to pitch there, Less money, worse team. Roger seriously should come here, he could pass Cy young, win his 200th Boston game, and Win a Championship with the Sox. It really makes sense.

No Lorreta? WTF is tito thinking he has been smashing the hell out of the ball. That is a huge mistake Edit: oops, did not fully read Riversides post, about his foot being hit last night

I actually think he is not signing with the Astros, if a deal was really close, then how come the astros and Clemens Agent havent spoken since early sunday. Something doesnt seem right there

Hopefully Beckett can keep it going, he has really been dominint lately

What the hell does it matter, We won Wake pitched lights out and we are in first place. Plus Bard would have never hit here he would have been to concrened with catching the Knuckle Ball, he would have been distracted at the plate.

D-O is the man

My nomination for dumbest post ever on talksox

4 doubles for sox+ 3 Hrs for Jays= 7

Alvarez, like Lenny Dinardo would get killed by the Jays. This series is hugly important, we cant just send some one out there who we know is going to get bombed. I say Jon Lester

Do you think the D-rays are actually going to part with there one good pitcher, Kazmir is special and is under D-rays control for a long time. GO GONZO!!!

C'mon trot

Wow, this could set up for a Clemens return to the Red Sox, if I remember corectly Clemens said he would look into joining a team espically if some one went down.

Clement is awful, its unaccpetable for this team to contiune to let him pitch. I would rather watch Lester learn his way on the Major League seen, rather than watch Clement get bombed every frigging start

I may be wrong, but are you saying you think Manny and Trot were on steriods?

I think that everybody is forgetting, that Pedro in 04 did have a 3.90 Era, but he had a dreadfull September, heading into the month his Era was at like 3.30, still high, but I think it was just a bad year, in 03 he led the leauge with a 2.22 Era

Thanks!, I love how when this Thread was started on like April 15th, Rivernator doomed our season because we had a negative run deferential

Jon Lester 98 mph, I highly doubt it
