With the win yesterday over the Cardinals, the Reds are guaranteed atleast a tie in this four game series with the chance to win it tonight. I'm not one to put more emphasis on one game over another, they all count as one, but as far as confidence goes, lastnights game was huge. The Redlegs take the momentum from this series into a series with the struggling Chicago Cubs followed by two bottom dwelling clubs in the Nationals and the Royals. Now is as good a time as any to make their move.
Josh Beckkett stuck it to the Detroit Tigers and the Red Sox have moved back into a tie with the Yankees at the top of the AL East. Their road ahoe is a bit tougher although they are playing some better ball. Tonight they face the D Train (Dontrelle Willis) who appears to be getting back on track. Then, although it's tough to say and hard to believe, the AL West LEADING Texas Rangers come to town for three games followed by a mid-week three game series against the Junkees. As if that isn't a tough enough schedule, the Sox then travel to defending World Champion Philadelphia Phillies, followed by two home series with the April NL East leading Florida Marlins and the perrenial powerhouse Atlanta Braves. By late June we should definately see the character of this team.
