This is the first time since 1999 that the Sox are going for 3-0 to start the season. The last time they tried for 3-0 to start the season in 1999, they lost to the Seattle Mariners after facing a young pitcher in his first season -- Freddy Garcia.
Rivera can't pitch against the Red Sox just like Pedro couldn't pitch against the Yankees. I wonder if Boston fans are chanting, "Who's your daddy?" to Rivera now.
