This week should be a decent test for the Red Sox. After winning fourteen of nineteen against the weak American League East, the Sox will get some of the iron over the next seven days. The defending American League champion Detroit Tigers are in town until Thursday night followed by the perennial National League East champion Atlanta Braves. The Tigers began the week in first place in the AL Central division even though they are without 17 game winner Kenny Rogers who is recovering from a blood clot. The Tigers have added some punch to their lineup this year with the addition of the ever dangerous, Gary Sheffield. And as a bonus the Sox have four days to audition in front of this years All Star manager Jim Leyland. On the weekend the Braves come to town. The Braves don’t have their usual quality pitching but they still have some guys who can mash, especially Andruw Jones and don’t forget former Red Sox shortstop Edgar Renteria, who ran up an eighteen game hit streak this season. Quality baseball, all week long at Fenway.
