Red Sox-Blue Jays (April 11, 12 & 13, 2006)

Memo to all residents of the Fenway and Kenmore neighborhoods: Enjoy the quiet tonight, it ends tomorrow afternoon. At 2:05 p.m. on Tuesday, Josh Beckett will take the mound on Opening Day at Fenway Park. Beckett (1-0, 1.29) was the prize offseason acquisition for the Sox and the Fenway Faithful are waiting in anticipation for his Boston debut. He will be opposed by Josh Towers (0-1, 7.71) of the Toronto Blue Jays. NESN and WEEI will have the game and if you can't find a seat in the park, come by and visit the Baseball Tavern at its' new location at 1270 Boylston Street to watch the game in high definition on one of the many plasma flat-screen televisions. On Wednesday, David Wells will make his 2006 debut against lefty Gustavo Chacin (1-0, 4.05). Wells was roughed up in his rehab start in Pawtucket so it will bear watching how he responds. Catch the game on NESN or WEEI. In the series finale on Thursday, Matt Clement (1-0, 5.14) faces Ted Lilly (0-0, 11.57). Lilly has been tough on the Red Sox over the past two years but with the lineup featuring so many new faces, past results don't mean as much as one would think -- it certainly didn't work out that way for Baltimore's Rodrigo Lopez on Sunday.
