heading back to Boston

Baseball Update:
Thursday's Update:
Red Sox 7, Indians 1
While Josh Beckett was tossing an eight inning, five hit, one run game, Kevin Youkalis was having an offensive explosion at the plate which included a homerum to put the Red Sox on the board first. The Indians tied the game at one with three hits and a run in the first inning, but once Beckett got into his grove there was very little the Tribe could do. Unfortunately fort he home team, once again C.C. Sabathia was bit of a wash out in the their loss.
WP: Josh Beckett (2-0) LP: C.C. Sabathia (0-2)
Indians lead 3-2

Saturday's Schedule
Indians @ Red Sox; 8 PM/est on FOX and ESPN Radio
Probable Starters
Red Sox: Curt Schilling (0-1)
Indians: Fausto Carmona (1-0)

Baseball Notes: If you were watching last night's game you may have noticed a little argument erupt between Josh Beckett and Kenny Lofton after Lofton dropped his bat assuming he had just taken ball four.

Braves Update:
Brian McCann will not have to undergo ankle surgery, but he isn't opposed to Lasik surgery.

NASCAR Update:
It's time for the final short track race of the season and the sixth race in the Chase. Jeff Gordon is pulling away from the rest of the field after back to back wins but with 500 grueling laps things could change in a heart beat. A small slip by a competitor could really ruin your day and this track is known to cause some mechanical troubles so this Chase is far from over. Watch the Subway 500 at 1 PM/est on ABC.

Reed Sorenson will be in the pink target car for breast cancer awareness this weekend at Martinsville.
