Greetings! I don't know about the rest of Red Sox Nation but I've got my broom ready for a sweep of the Yanks at Yankee Stadium tonight. The pitching match-up is Jon Lester (pictured above) for the Sox and Freddy Garcia on the hill for NY. Should Boston win tonight they will achieve a .500 record for the first time this season and put them just 2 games out of first place in the AL east. Coming off Beckett's best start of the season last night (9 strikeouts, 0 runs allowed) the Sox bullpen is no doubt strong with Lester as no exception. Some bats to keep an eye on are Jacoby Ellsbury, Adrian Gonzalez and Jed Lowrie. The Yankees on the other hand are dealing with some drama surrounding former catcher and now DH Jorge Posada as well as struggling bats from the NY superstars Jeter and A-Rod. The game is on ESPN tonight (already underway) and should be exciting considering the Yankees have some pride to loose by allowing a sweep and the Red Sox are on fire. Fingers crossed for the Sox - this is a situation where I don't mind doing some housework.
