Fresh from trading for a left-handed starter, signing their top draft pick and promoting
Eduardo Rodriguez, the Red Sox are set to open the second half of the season against
The Evil Ones in the Bronx. In a flurry of activity over the All-Star Break,
The Carmine Hose have probably set themselves up well for
both the short and long term. Of course, top pitching prospect
Anderson Espinoza could undergo a
'Rizzo-Fication' and make
Dave Dombrowski look bad down the road. But, the rotation
desperately needed an upgrade to contend
now. Tonight, Boston will pin its hopes on the pitching star of the
first half—knuckleballer
Steven Wright (10-5, 2.68). He will be opposed by
Michael "What Pine Tar?" Pineda (3-8, 5.38). This should be an interesting and important series—as
The Bronx Embalmers sit just 5.5 games back of Boston. Bring it on!
