Game Preview: Let's play 2!

**Sox & Tigers will play a doubleheader today to make up for last night's rainout**

GM112:25 Maroth (3-0, 4.69) vs Tavarez (1-4, 6.60)
GM27:05 Durbin (3-1, 5.08) vs Schilling (4-1, 3.63)

Thanks to thew monsoon that swept through the Northeast in the early evening hours last night, the Sox/Tigers game was washed out and was rescheduled for today at the ungodly (for baseball players) hour of 12:25.

The second game will be played at its regularly scheduled time, and both games will have the same pitching matchups as previously scheduled.

The Sox got some more bad news along with the postponement last night- Josh Beckett will indeed miss his start tomorrow night against the Braves, and who knows how many more. Today's Globe is reporting that Beckett will definitely be scratched tomorrow, and the possibility still exists that he could be placed on the DL.

It's believed that 2006 surprise Kason Gabbard will be called up for his first start with the big club in 2007 to take Becks' turn against the Braves for the short-term, while any long-term solution will have to wait until the severity of Beckett's skin tear is determined.

In other injury news, J.D. Drew is still sore from his outfield wall collision and would have sat out last night, probably will sit out this afternoon, but should be well enough to start tonight. With the way he's been struggling, maybe this is what he needed to get his swing back into joint.

Let's hope for a Sox sweep today, because without their horse anchoring the lineup, this season could go sideways in a hurry.

Go Sox!
