Red Sox vs. Indians (April 7, 2011)

Red Sox (0-5) @ Cleveland Indians (3-2)

1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Carl Crawford, LF
3. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
4. Adrian Gonzalez, 1B
5. Kevin Youkilis, 3B
6. David Ortiz, DH
7. J.D. Drew, RF
8. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
9. Marco Scutaro, SS

SP - Jon Lester (0-1, 8.44)

Three Strikes:

1. Granted it's only after one game but Fausto Carmona's 30.00 ERA gives me hope that this will be the day that the Red Sox offense starts living up to its great potential.

2. Jon Lester has never been a great pitcher in April  and he has always struggled in Cleveland (17 earned runs in 22.1 innings) but Red Sox Nation is asking - no, demanding - a great effort out of #31 today.

3. No preview tomorrow or Sunday.  I will be slinging cold beers at The Baseball Tavern.
