6 Road Games Coming Up

Get ready for some late night TV. 4 of the 6 upcoming games in Texas & Minnesota start at 8 PM, meaning an ending for die hard Red Sox fans around 12 midnight. But these could be 6 very important games as the Sox attempt to take off after reaching the elusive .500 mark for the first time in over a month. With 2 wins under their belt & 6 out of the last 10 the Sox need another round of good performances from their starting pitchers. Situational hitting with RISP is slowly improving. Young guys like Middlebrooks, Bogaerts & JBJ are hanging in there & perhaps starting to figure out life on the big league field. Pedroia is getting comfortable at leadoff. And Big Papi should warm up with the weather. One series at a time, one game at a time. With a built-in off day on Monday the bullpen should be fresh & ready. All signs are pointing up as the Sox invade Texas tonight. I'm predicting 2 out of 3 wins in each of these series.
