The Boston Red Sox head to Chicago to take on the AL Central leading Chicago White Sox.
This series is crutial to both teams.
The Red Sox are two and a half games behind AL East leading Tampa Bay Rays while the White Sox are only a half game up on the 2nd place Minnesota Twins.
The White Sox are a hot 37-17 at U.S. Cellular Field Ballpark while the Red Sox are 26-33 on the road.
Jason Bay, traded for Manny Ramirez and appearing in his first game as a Red Sox, was instrumental to the Red Sox’s 2-1 victory over the Oakland A’s on Friday night. Jason hit a two-out triple in the bottom of the 13th inning and was driven home as the winning run.
Manny hit into a double play in the ninth inning of his first game with the Dodgers as the Dodgers lost to the Diamondbacks.
Wow. Red Sox trade Manny Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers and get Jason Bay from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
It is the end of an era.
I will root for Manny being Manny as a Dodger this year, should be very interesting.
Jason Bay is a stud. Jason Bay and Manny have very similar stats. Manny hits a little better for average. Bay is younger, cheaper and less of a headache for the front office.
