The first two teams, UCONN & Villanova, have punched their tickets to the Final Four in Detroit, and the first two players have punched a ticket to the Final Four of our Red Sox Madness tournament.  Just like March Madness, a #1 seed (Pedroia) and a #3 seed (Ellsbury) have advanced.

Today we move to the lower half of the brackets and are greeted with a serious pitchers duel in #1 seed Josh Beckett and #2 seed Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Remember, the simple question is “who’s success is more important to the overall success of the Boston Red Sox in 2009?” Vote away!

Please feel free to battle your opinions out in the comments and enjoy the Madness!
