From MLB.Com Scouting Report

White Sox: A streak of two straight complete games came to an end for Vazquez, as he lasted 5 2/3 innings against Baltimore. Although the White Sox lost in extra innings, Vazquez finished with a no-decision after allowing four runs on six hits, while striking out six. Vazquez has a 1-4 career record with a 4.02 ERA against the Red Sox and has posted a 0-3 record and 4.50 ERA over four lifetime starts at Fenway Park. The right-hander lost a 1-0 decision in Boston on Sept. 5 of last season, yielding three hits in eight innings, while striking out 11.

Red Sox: Matsuzaka's troubles with making adjustments resulted in a second straight mediocre start on Saturday night against Toronto, but the Red Sox right-hander still got his 11th win after squandering a 4-2 lead. He allowed nine hits, including four doubles and two home runs, but held the Blue Jays to four earned runs in six innings. He has yet to face the White Sox.

As usual all statistics were found at the day by day database at Baseball Musings and this year at Baseball Reference.

This team has some pretty good history vs Javier. What would make it even better is if Mirabelli was playing, especially since he is 4 for 11 with 2 home runs and 1 double. Come on Tito, play Dougie!

In six starts Javier has four quality starts. When he has been good he has been very good including his last start vs this team last year on 9/5/2006. When he lost a 1-0 game to Kason Gabbard.

What I would do if I was Theo / Tito - Put J.D. on the DL to heal his hammy and call up Ellsbury.


Chow!
