Tigers Notes: Tigers have lost five straight games that included two to the Twins, and being swept in Chicago...The Sox are 2-1 vs. the Tigers this year...The Tigers have a 12-21 combined record against the White Sox, Yankees, Sox, A's, and Angels...Against the rest of baseball they're 64-20.
Sox Notes: Keith Foulke had an MRI today on his back, everything looked good but, the date of his return is still in question...Tim Wakefield won't pitch Monday against the Yankees as rumored, however he may pitch next Sunday in Seattle (August 27)...The Sox rotation this weekend against the Yankees is as follows: Friday's doubleheader will have Jason Johnson, and Jon Lester pitching in an order TBD against probably Chien-Ming Wang, and Sidney Ponson. Saturday will feature Josh Beckett vs. Randy Johnson. Sunday night's match-up may be the best of the series with Curt Schilling dueling with Mike Mussina. Monday's day game will have David Wells opposing new Yankee Corey Lidle....Tuesday's starter for Boston in Anaheim is expected to be Kyle Snyder..ttyl-Chris
