Red Sox-Orioles (April 7, 8 & 9, 2006)
The Red Sox invade Camden Yards tonight to start a three game set with the Baltimore Orioles.
Matt Clement gets the start for Boston. Hard throwing Daniel Cabrera will get the nod for the O's. NESN and WEEI will have the game, starting at 7:05 p.m.
Clement is trying to bounce back from a poor finish to 2005. He was an All-Star a year ago but in the second half, Clement fell apart. His success will be vital to the Red Sox season.
On Saturday, Curt Schilling (1-0, 2.57) takes on lefty Bruce Chen. Chen was with the Red Sox in 2003 and has started to blossom in Baltimore. It is a 4:35 p.m. start and will be covered by both NESN and WEEI.
Tim Wakefield (0-1, 17.18) will try to bounce back from a terrible first start in the series finale against Rodrigo Lopez (1-0, 6.43). Lopez has given the Red Sox fits in the past.
The Sox should be able to steal at least 2-of-3 from the O's, especially if Clement can get the win tonight. The Sox have the advantage on Saturday with Schilling but Sunday is in doubt with the Sox-killer Lopez on the hill.
If you are looking for a spot to watch the game, check out the new Baseball Tavern. The Tavern, long a Fenway tradition at its' old location of 1306 Boylston Street, has moved down a few spots to 1290 Boylston. The new place has three floors and a roof deck plus numerous plasma HDTV televisions to watch the game.
