Going from one game away from the World Series last season to AL Central bottom-feeders this season, such was the life of Paul Byrd as a member of the Cleveland Indians. The man with the throw-back windup and HGH allegations to his name makes his Red Sox debut tonight at Fenway Park against the Toronto Blue Jays, matched up against Roy "Doc" Halladay.
The Sox offense is as hot as it has even been this season and will need to maintain its torrid pace to beat Halladay who leads the Majors with seven complete games.
Will the offense stay hot? Will Byrd pitch well enough to earn the win in his Sox debut? We will find out today, but we can all hope so as the Sox need to keep pace with the injury-riddened first-place Rays who remain 3 games ahead of the Sox, 4 games in the loss column.
