Red Sox-Tigers (June 2, 3, & 4)

After barely holding on last night in Toronto -- now do you see why Theo doesn't care that Alex Gonzalez is hitting .220 -- the Red Sox travel to Detroit Rock City to play the Tigers. The 35-18 Tigers. The first place Tigers. The best record in baseball Tigers. Forget for a second that the Yankees just swept Detroit. What is going down in MoTown is nothing short of awesome. Give Jim Leyland and his club a whole lot of credit. In the series opener tomorrow night, Curt Schilling (8-2, 3.93) goes against the favorite of photographers everywhere, Kenny Rogers (7-3, 3.76). Schill must go deep into this game to save the bullpen a few extra miles; in Toronto the 'pen logged 12 2/3-innings while the starters only went 12 1/3. This is a 7:05 game on NESN and WEEI. On Saturday a 7:05, Tim Wakefield (4-6, 4.07) goes up against Jeremy Bonderman (5-4, 4.61) on NESN and WEEI. In the series finale, Struggling Matt Clement ( 4-4, 6.91) -- wait, Struggling isn't his real first name? -- will be opposed by Roman Colon (0-0, 6.57) at 1:05 on NESN and WEEI. Let's all hope the Sox can take a series on the road against a good opponent. Especially considering they will start next week in the Bronx. TheBostonInsider is off to St. Louis for the weekend for the Cardinals-Cubs series, departing Providence in a few hours. Have a nice weekend.
