TIME: 7:05 PM EDT in Boston, MA (Fenway Park)
TV: NESN, ESPN
RADIO: WEEI 850
RESULT OF PRIOR GAME (October 2, 2005)
New York Yankees 1, Boston Red Sox 10 (W: Curt Schilling. L: Jaret Wright)
Sox Star of the Game: Manny Ramirez- 2 AB, 1 R, 2 H, 3 RBI, 2 BB
GAME NOTES: Aside from the much-anticipated return of Johnny Damon to Boston, there’s a very important game to be played. The Sox return home struggling mightily on a 9-game road trip, losing 6 games in Toronto, Cleveland and Tampa, including a 15-3 shelling by the Indians. The Yankees, on the other hand, come off a successful homestand. Both teams enter the game tied for first atop the AL East, marking a vitally important duel in early May. If Wakefield and Bard can work together and the offense gives Wake some support, look for Boston to get off their recent skid.
