Battle for 1st Place vs the Rays -
06-03-2008, 01:41 PM
    Coming into this 3 game set in Fenway the Rays hold a 1 1/2 game lead on the Redsox. The Sox will be without the services of Big Papi out with a wrist injury and Sean casey will most likely be his primary replacement.
In Game 1 young Justin Masterson will go to the hill for the third time this season where he has at least lasted intothe 6th inning in the previous two outings. He will face off against Matt Garza who has been great so far after started out the season with an injury. In Game 2 Josh Beckett who can be very dominant will take his strikeout style to the mound with 75 K's in 67 innings. He will face Edwin Jackson who started off really well for the Rays and has recently come down to earth a bit. In Game 3 Jon Lester will take his off again on again talent to the mound to face James Shields who is becoming a premier pitcher in the American league. All of these games should be great ones as both teams can have explosive lineups. The one big advantage I give to the Redsox is they are playing in Fenway where they currently have a 21-5 record. I am hoping for the Sox to take at least two of these games. |

4-3 now. Rays lead Masterson may be getting tired.

Sox are busting loose in the 6th scoring 4 runs. It is now 6-3 Sox. Garza has been chased.

Redsox are back on top in the A.L. Est after taking game 2 of the Rays series. The score was 5-1.

Nice brawl!!! Shields, Gomes and Crisp were all ejected! Rays mean business this year.
 Giants > Padres  Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.70 career ERA, but has won just 29 of his 95 starts. |

It was a mean brawl, but Gomes will be heading for a big fine and suspension for his antics in the brawl. He came out swing hay-makers right and left as wild as he could.
Me and my family left early to catch most of the Celtics game. The Sox were leading 7-1 when we left and they still are. |

I was there at the game and the video doesn't show that Gomes actually swung just more than once.

the rays are out for every team in the AL East lol. first the yankees now the sox haha. Gomes is HACKING AWAY at crisp. he deserved it too, he should never tried to charge the mound. why was this an incident? like, why did coco charge the mound? he had to have a reason more than he simply got hit
