The Red Sox open a four-game series with the increasingly irrelevant
Evil Empire tonight, sending
Jake Peavy to the mound to face
Ivan Nova. On Friday,
Felix Doubront will take to the hill against fellow left-hander
Andy "HGH" Pettitte. On Saturday afternoon,
John Lackey will take on someone named
David Huff and Sunday afternoon's match-up will feature
Jon Lester against
Hiroki Kuroda.
The Carmine Hose have an excellent chance to dramatically accelerate the arrival of
Yankee Elimination Day (a sorely needed new national holiday).
