GAME NOTES: Jon Lester, the story of the Boston playoff run thus far, takes the hill and attempts to give the Sox a 2-1 lead. Opposing him is Matt Garza, significantly worse on the road than he is at home. Lots of questions going to be answered in tonight’s game, including but not limited to:
- Is it time to bench Ellsbury?
- Is Jon Lester 2008 as sure of a bet as Josh Beckett 2007?
- Will the Rays continue to play well, and win, in Fenway?
- Was game 2 a blip on the radar or a sign of things to come?
