The rain forecast for Friday in Chicago stayed away and I am sure White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen wishes it had poured all day. The Red Sox dominated both games of the doubleheader, winning 11-3 and 10-1. Josh Beckett struggled in the first game and Curt Schilling was excellent in the second. The Red Sox bullpen was strong in both games not allowing a run. Jason Varitek was the hero of game 1 and Big Papi of game 2. All told, it was a long day of baseball for both teams. So before the Sox play each other again at 3:55 PM on FOX, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston area and Chicago media on this humid morning in Red Sox Nation.

what a great day it was yesterday…sox pick up 1.5 games in a day…excellent. 6.5 sounds pretty good…now they gotta hold that till NY or at least keep it @ 6…that would be nice
nothing like staying up to 2:45 AM to watch a 9-inning Tigers-Yankees game…I gave up when it went to extras…game ended @ 3:30 apparently, but a great finish…ha, the yanks got to wait 4 hrs to play, then play a 4.5 hr game and lose…HA…excellent day…LETS GO SOX!
I stayed up and watched the whole thing. It was brutal. 6.5 is a good number but a little more before Tuesday would be nice
