Boston RED SOX vs L.A. DODGERS "the 2012 Blockbuster Trade" Series...RED SOX take their AL East leading Act to MLB's only RAVINE...CHAVEZ Ravine and the Blue-Hot DODGERS starring in a "A Whole New Blue"...Inter League Top-Shelf..."WEEKEND BENDERS" EAST meets WEST involving Division Leaders #BoSoxHARDBALL #DodgerHARDBALL #TGIFHardball

Expect to see the Black Mamba celebrating his 35th Birthday at the Red Sox-Dodgers Clash on Friday Night as rarely does it get this good this late in the season and in inter league play. The Red Sox coming in a game ahead of the Rays in the AL East have been playing really good hardball in 2013 and they have lost a Closer and a #1 Starter in the rotation. Offensively they are led by "Papi Ortiz" and the Carmines "Smurf" Package of Ellsbury, Victorino, and "Go Hard" Captain Pedroia and they have all been getting it done.

The Dodgers have been lights out since their favorite Missile has arrived from the Farm in the "Cuban Missile" Yasiel Puig. Hanley Ramirez has been playing in the O-Zone layer for all of 2013 as he tries to stake his claim to one of the Top Five Hardball Players in the Show. Throw in A-Gon, Crawford, Ethier, Juan Uribe, and the Ellis Twins..no relation...Chavez Ravine has once gain become combustible in the right way. They also have those two Front Line Starters in Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke and these Boys are a real threat to capturing the 2013 Fall Classic.      

CARMINES @ DODGER Blue from that Ravine...Chavez Ravine an Inter League 3-Piece

August 23, 2013 10:10pm ET
BOS Lackey (8-10) vs LAD Nolasco (9-9)

August 24, 2013 4:05pm ET
BOS Lester (11-7) vs LAD Ryu (12-4)

August 25, 2013 8:05pm ET
BOS Peavy (9-5) vs LAD Capuano (4-6)

Look what the MLB Gods rolled in for the Bo Sox as they do not have to face Kershaw nor Greinke and lucky for them. If they meet again that Dodger Two-Pack will be on the Bump in Games 1 and 2 and 5-6 so don't throw a party in the Clubhouse and think your going Fast Pitch Softball versus these Dodgers.  Ryu and Nolasco as well as Capuano or more than qualified to take you on a Complete Job Stroll.  Lackey, Lester, and Peavy for the Carmines is what you ant as your not in a comfort level zone like the Dodgers in the AL East. This is must-see MLB T.V. and the Bluedude is all over it.
