Is it a case of the “chicken little’s”, or are our concerns over the Red Sox legit?
The Rumble in Tampa starts tonight, 7:05pm.
Tampa has their pitching lined up as they will mound Shields, Garza and Kazmir. Boston will have Masterson, Wake, and Matsuzaka going.

Couple fantastic decisions last night by the Red Sox organization.
First, they decide to drop the appeal on Sean Casey’s suspension. This normally would have been fine, but as luck had it - Youkilis goes out with an eye injury.
Now here is my question to you - did you find it a little overly precautionary to pull Youkilis out of the game? If you saw the “play” unfold you noticed it wasn’t a hard throw from Lowell. Lowell even describes it as a lob throw.
Tonight the Red Sox welcome the Arizona Diamondbacks for a 3-game series. Let’s take a quick look at the match-up.
Boston is wrapping up a 6-game home stand before they embark on a very tough 10-game road trip. The Red Sox sit atop 1st place in the American League East with a 47-31 record. They hold a very tough 29-9 home record and are 6-4 in their last ten games.
Arizona is sporting a 39-37 record but are holding on to 1st place in the National League West. Like most teams, their road record is not very good at 15-22. They just got swept at Minnesota and are 4-6 in their last ten games.
There is no question about it. I have been “running on Dunkin” for a good two weeks now. Since the Red Sox start today at 1 (Masterson vs. Kendrick), I’ll be getting my “sleep on” at about 6:30pm tonight. If I can keep my head off my desk, I’ll be keeping you updated on the game through Twitter today.
It may be the lack of sleep, but I am still baffled on how a team in the NBA Finals gives up 131 pts. Run 4 effin’ corners to save an ounce self respect. Something! You are on national television for all that is holy!
Eh! It’s Monday. What else can you say?
The Celtics decided to push my limits of sleep deprivation. Things here will return back to normal once they decide to give me my pillow back and wrap this series up Tuesday night.
The Red Sox took care of business this weekend against Cincinnati. Crisp with a couple of BIG swings. Was he showing off the skills for a possible trade for Griffey? (We hope not!)
So it’s the middle of the month. How about we give away something today?
Here is a funny story resurfacing over at Deadspin today. It seems Jonathan Papelbon and the Red Sox bullpen like the “moneyshots”.
The quick and “dirty” rundown:
We have a quick post for you today. We want to touch upon a few blazing topics and get some input from you.
J.D Drew
In Drew’s last 13 games (since May 25th against Oakland) – he has had 38 at bats, 17 hits, 4 HRs, 10 RBIs, and 8 BBs. In those 13 games he has .447BA, .542 OBP and a .895 SLG.
Is Drew finally coming around, is it a product of batting ahead of Manny, or is it a little of both?
WOW!
What an odd night last night. I mean honestly, can anyone think of a stranger night/day in Boston sports history? If you can think of any that can compare, post them, I’d love to hear. (Hint hint: Good way to get into our contest)
Let’s break it down in a somewhat chronological order:
