The Red Sox are now back on the West Coast hanging 10 on the beautiful beaches of San Diego. Word is Ron Burgandy might be making an appearance with the Remdawg and his sidekick. One person we won’t be seeing on the mound is our old friend Boomer. He pitched yesterday. The weekend does bring some strong pitching matchups with the highlight being Josh Beckett vs Jake Peavy on Sunday. The Red Sox enjoyed their day off but as usual the media was busy writing so let’s take a look at what they have to say.
