The last time the Sox faced the Pirates, it was an unfortunate 5th inning that did Beckett in, as the starter was unable to keep a strong start going as the pitches built up on his arm.
He will see if he can't get over that hump today, as he gets one more shot at Pittsburgh's lineup.
But first, our own:
1. Marco Scutaro, SS
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
4. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
5. Mike Cameron, DH
6. Darnell McDonald, CF
7. Daniel Nava, LF
8. Josh Reddick, RF
9. Nate Spears, 1B

Not a mother out there that could love this lineup.
