Evan Longoria is being handed the American League MVP award courtesy of the Boston Red Sox pitching staff.
Even though Boston just recently had an 11-game winning streak snapped and beat the Cleveland Indians coming back from a 5-run deficit winning on a Jonathan Van Every homer in extra innings -- his first of his MLB career -- the Red Sox still have some things to figure out. Matt Garza is one and Josh Beckett is the other.
Josh Beckett couldn't figure out the Yankees last start; one day late due to his five-game suspension. His velocity and movement were there, but his command was way off. It's Tampa's second look at Beckett. Garza struggled with control in his last start, but dominated the Sox in the opening series.
Joe Castiglione needs to play the MEGA Millions tonight. So does Jonathan Van Every for that matter.
Only three games into the season, Evan Longoria has already punched his name into the American League MVP race. And Matt Garza made a loud statement that the Rays aren't a flash in the pan.
While Dice-K attempts to build upon his second straight MVP of the World Baseball Classic, the baseball world grieves for the death of Angels starting pitcher Nick Adenhart.
