TV clickers in Toronto will get a workout this evening as a rare matchup of Cy Young winners interests a few of us even more than the hockey game downtown. Roy Halladay and Pedro Martinez both bring question marks with them to the Fenway mound; Doc gave up three homers to the Tigers on Opening Day, and Pedro's fastball was missing early against Baltimore. Roy's got that weird April split, and there are concerns about Martinez' shoulder. I'm expecting them both to pitch well, deep into the game.
It's the starting nine for the Jays; Cesar Crespo (!) leads off for the Sox and Kapler, Bellhorn and Reese are also in the depleted lineup. Let's hope the Jays' bats stay in a good groove and the fielders make the routine plays. A series win would be sweet.
