D-Backs....in Beantown

Another series, another first place team on the dockett.  While the Yankees continue to play the worst of the worst (series starting in Pittsburgh tomm/their second series in two years) the Sox continue to draw the best teams in the Majors.  This series with the D-backs will be the second series in the last three with a first place team,  it is the 5th such series this season for the Sox, playing a team that is first place.  Hopefully tonights game will be a beauty, both team have aces going, with Josh Beckett facing Dan Haren.  Should be a tough series, for the record the D-backs are my pick from the National League to go to the World Series.
