    Red Sox D-Backs coming to town

    Looking at these pitching matchups things are going to be very close. Things could go either way in all of these match-ups. I am hoping the Redsox can bounce back after losing only there 2nd home series all season long.

    Game 1:Haren vs. Beckett: These guys both have very similiar numbers it is almost scary. Both pitchers have 7-4 records with 3 plus era and the strikeouts to walks ratio is almost the same. Both pitchers have a lot of K's and hardly no walks. This should be a greatmatch-up and it is on ESPN.

    Game 2: Davis vs. Masterson: Davis has been an inspiration to us all. In his last two outings he has piched well but ending up with no decisions. Masterson continues to be a good fit to the rotation with the injuries that have hit the Sox. He has posted a 4-1 record with a 3.00 era and won his last outing in Philly.

    Game 3: Johnson vs. Wakefield: Another tow pitchers with identical records at 4-4, but two pitchers that throw like night and day differently. Johnson has lost his last 4 outings, but continues to be a strikeout threat everytime he takes the mound. Wakefield with his flutterball can baffle hitters anytime he comes to the hill. In his last outing he pitched pretty well and got the no decison going 7 innings and allowing 3 earned.

    Outlook: Like I said I would really like the Redsox to bounce back and take this series, but it will be tough. I will predict two outt of three for the Redsox.

    Boston should sweep them. I mean, the Twins did, and the Twins aren't supposed to be good this year, right?

    Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

    Just turned on th4e game and what a pitching match-up. The D-backs just scored 2 runs on Beckett who is pitching a great game, but Danny Haren is pitching a 1 hitter through 6 innings. Come on Redsox bats.

    2-0 D-Backs

    Thank God Haren leaves the game. The Sox have slimmed the lead now to 2-1 D-Backs.

    Great pitched match between both Haren and Beckett. Sox bats really need to start getting into to gear.

    Redsox were trailing 4-1 heading into the bottom of the 8th and the Redsox exploded for 4 runs and now lead 5-4 heading to Papelbon time in the top of the 9th.
