Justin Masterson routing Clay Buchholz to embarrass his former team was a forgone conclusion? Say whaaaaaa? After a stunningly, shockingly, horrifyingly inane loss last night, the Boston Red Sox will scrape up their shattered dignity and finish an otherwise strong series in Cleveland. And what better man to slam the door than Jon Lester? Certainly not Boof Bonser... that's for sure.
Having taken the last two at Cleveland, the Boston Red Sox bring the fight to their former top prospect, Justin Masterson. Masterson, the feature piece in the Victor Martinez trade, has struggled since the trade with much credit owed to his inability to put down lefties. Clay Buchholz, on the other hand, looks to continue his tremendous start to the season.

ust a few hours after Dice-K dialed in for a brilliant performance, veteran Tim Wakefield, starting in place of the DL bound Josh Beckett, will try to lead the Boston Red Sox past one of the game's best pitchers on one of the league's best teams, as they try to close an away stint with a victory in Philadelphia against Roy Halladay.
