Cardinals set to take on RedSox

A rematch of the 2004 World Series on the line this weekend at Fenway Park in Boston. The St. Louis Cardinals, losers of 3 straight, come in with a record of 42 wins 32 losses, while the Red Sox sit at 46 wins and 29 losses.

Friday’s matchup will feature Kyle Lohse 8-2, 3.77 v. Tim Wakefield 4-4, 4.19. Lohse has won five straight starts for the Cardinals, and is doing it with precise control of all his pitches. Wakefield is 1-2 career against the Cardinals, but is coming off a pretty good start last week against the Reds.

Saturday features rookie righthander Mitchell Boggs for the Cardinals. Boggs is 1-0 with a 5.56 era. He has made two starts this season, but may be a bit scary in homer friendly Fenway. For the Red Sox, they will counter with Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is 8-0 on the year, with a 2.53 era. This will be the 2:55 FOX game of the week on Saturday. Dice K has not made a start since May 27.

Sunday brings us Joel Piniero, 2-3, with a 4.02 era against Jon Lester 6-3, 3.18.

Good luck to the Cardinals this weekend! Let’s get two on the road!

Hurry back Albert!
