THE man. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak)

The end of a short two-game set in NY. 

Josh Beckett takes the mound against Joba of Chamberlain. We can only hope that the encouraging outing from Beckett's co-ace last night can inspire such a performance from Becks tonight. Otherwise, we could be in trouble. Joba of Chamberlain has been a bright spot in an otherwise dim Yankee rotation to-date. 

My guess on the lineup? Well...

Ells, DP, Papi, Bay, Drew, Lowell, Bailey, 'Tek, and Green. Have to imagine they'll give Youks a day off unless he's 150.89% and another day off for Lugo of Suck has already been implied. 

Only wild card, I think, might be in 'Tek v. Kottaras today. Late night and long day for 'Tek yesterday.

Or I could be completely wrong. The Sox could decide to go with Van Every in the middle of the lineup with Lugo AND Green in at the same time. With Kottaras catching and 'Tek DHing for Papi. Hoo. Sounds like a bad dream.

Do it. Puck drops at 7:05 EDT...most likely.

BTW, the last game we faced Joba, he wasn’t that dominant. actually he was lucky he got out of a lot of jams ‘cause of a record GIDP we made (4 actually).
Hopefully, he don’t get this lucky that time. GO SOX!

I really don't understand the Lowell - Drew switch.

Shouldn’t the guy with the higher OBP go 5 to prolong the inning and get 6 up with the best chance to knock the most people in as compared to the guy with the lower OBP having a chance to end the inning at 5th before the guy batting 6th has less of a chance to knock him in?

Beckett is having the same problems I remember him having in 2006, which is not good. In fact, I just watched Jacob Turner, a probable top 10 pick this year, pitch against my high school team, and right now I might take Turner over him.

Oh, and I saw some Sox scouts there. Might be our first round pick if no one wants to risk drafting him and watching him go to college.

High School for Westminster Christian Academy in Saint Louis County. RHP, about 6’4" 180lbs. He was hitting 96 and 97 pretty consistently and had the best movement on his curves and sliders I’ve ever seen in a high schooler.

It was fun heckling him though

Whenever he’d give up a hit I’d yell “Beckett never gave up hits in high school.” And when he gave up a run I yelled “Haha you just cost yourself $3 million in signing bonus money.” Also stuff like “Say hi to the Orioles Single A pitching coach for me”.
