#!@#*!% Terrible

Josh Beckett was filthy last night. Too bad it was Beckett’s cursing during the post-game. The Boston Red Sox are on a three game slide, and dropped out of first last night. Luckily, it’s a 3:05pm game today and Daniel Cabrera is on the mound.

Here are some numbers to chew on:

• Daniel Cabrera (05-07) against the Red Sox. 1-8 with a 6.65 ERA, 4.8 innings per start, and giving up 4 walks per start.
• Alex Cora is 11-for-20 against Cabrera for a .550 BA, slugging .850.
• Mike Lowell has a .500 BA against Cabrera with a 1.47 OPS.
• Youkilis is batting .333 for the month of May with 5 doubles, 6 HR, and 15 RBI.

It’s time to end the edginess surfacing in Boston - 3:05pm the Boston Red Sox end the slide – 8:00pm the Celtics take care of business.
