My Head Hurts

Ok, so I was right about their pitching (Lackey had a great game) but I blew it with Hunter. He came through in the clutch but now must die. To that end, I've hired a professional witch doctor who is at this very moment soaking his jersey in chicken blood. I kid you not.

Weaver's jersey is next. Although, it may not be necessary. He had 16 wins, a career high, but wasn't that strong in the homestretch and he's certainly not as big-game tested as Beckett, who comes in with 17 wins and a chip on his shoulder for not getting the game one start. Expect to see him throw hard and fast and have good command over the plate despite not pitching to Varitek. Like I said, he has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. You could put my grandma (God rest her soul) behind the plate and he'd feel comfortable tonight.

As for the Red Sox bats, that didn't show up last night, you can expect that to change. Bay is poised to get hot, Pedroia is due and I think Big Papi will yet again rise to the occasion and throw down some serious wood tonight. With a bat, of course, I mean, you know what I mean...

Big prediction: Weaver leaves by the fourth inning and it's all down hill from there for the Halos.
