Good evening, folks. For those of you staying up, here's your gamethread.
The Giants send one of their various good pitchers to the mound. He had some sort of no-hit something last year.
The Red Sox will counter by flipping a coin to see if Tim Wakefield is any good tonight.
We've got an even deader pen then usual, so hopefully Tim is good for quite a few innings.
Kevin Youkilis returns to the lineup after missing a few, with David Ortiz riding the pine against the lefty. Drew is still out, setting up our usual hodgepodge outfield.
OK, widget isn't working, so here you go:
- Scutaro SS
- Nava LF
- Pedroia 2B
- Youkilis 1B
- Martinez C
- Beltre 3B
- Hall RF
- McDonald CF
- Wakefield P
SanFran counters with:
- Torres RF
- Sanchez 2B
- Huff LF
- Uribe SS
- Sandoval 3B
- Posey 1B
- Rowand CF
- Whiteside C
- Sanchez P
Not exactly intimidating, but it's Wake, and they've had some weird years to date.
This is the potential upset matchup, so no pressure. Win this one and we're sitting pretty.
