Tonight's starting pitchers: Blackburn (7-4) vs. Lester (7-3).
Both of these young pitchers have been very good this season. Should be a great game. One reason I am glad to be back in Boston is that I can now watch the Redsox games again.
Monroe is in line up tonight.
Harris is at 3rd, Punto is at short again. Must be because Gardy doesn't want Buscher (lefty) facing Lester (lefty).
Yep, it's lefty vs. lefty situation.
