Sox hitters fired up to avoid a sweep? Probably as fired up as they were in Detroit. Cotts will really show me something tonight if he pitches well. I believe the deck is stacked against him. And remember, the Sox have never faced the other starter, a fact I'm getting so sick of hearing. Every other team who has never faced him lights him up, the Sox go meakly into the night. Maybe after the first 2 games the Rangers will be a little tired from running the bases and Buck will borrow a page out of JM's book and rest everybody.
We had never faced Robert Ellis before had we?
