GAME NOTES: This should be a sweep. Bottom line: THIS SHOULD BE A SWEEP. The Astros won last night but are reeling overall, and the pitching matchups (tonight, Lester-Backe, Beckett-Moehler) give the Red Sox an outstanding chance to reach 20 games over .500. What can we expect from Matsuzaka? It's anybody's guess. He returned from the DL and threw the worst game of his career. Was it a fluke or will another poor outing spell more missed starts for the Dice-Man? Let's hope seven inning of one-run ball eases our worries.
