After being rained out last night at home, the Boston Red Sox take to the road for a seven game road trip. Tonight, they’ll take on the Minnesota Twins in the first game of a three-game set at Target Field in Minneapolis, MN.

First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Twins television market, you can catch the game on Fox Sports North. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to it on the Red Sox radio network.

Jon Lester will make his fourth start of the season for the struggling Red Sox. In his previous three starts, Lester is 0-2 with a 5.82 ERA. He took the loss in his only start of 2011 against the Twins on August 10th when he allowed four runs in 7.1 innings of work. He’s made seven appearances (six starts) against the Twins in his career and is 1-3 with a 4.71 ERA. He’s made four starts against the Twins on the road, two at the Metrodome and two at Target Field. In the two starts at the Metrodome, Lester was 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA. In his two starts at the Twins current home of Target Field, he is 0-2 with a 5.84 ERA (8 ER/12.1 IP).

Jason Marquis makes his second start of the season after beginning it on the disabled list. In his first start, he picked up the win after allowing four runs in five innings against the New York Yankees. He has not faced the Red Sox since the 2002 season as a member of the Atlanta Braves. In that start, he took a no decision after allowing two earned runs in 6.2 innings of work. He’s made four career appearances (two starts) against the Red Sox and is 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA.

Maybe the rain that canceled last night’s game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox was just what the home team needed before heading out on the road.

The Red Sox are scuffling right now, there’s no doubt about that. So maybe a day of rest and relaxation was needed. A chance to put aside the start of the season and start fresh.

You have to think the injuries are a big reason why the Red Sox are in the position they are in right now.

They started out the season with their closer Andrew Bailey on the disabled list. He’s a guy who has end of the game experience. Then you have left fielder Carl Crawford on the disabled list. Granted he had his struggles last year but big things were expected for him. Then you have All-Star center fielder and AL MVP runner-up Jacoby Ellsbury go down with an injury leaving you with a very depleted outfield.

And to make matters worse, Jason Repko, the man who “replaced” Ellsbury, is now heading to the disabled list after making a great catch on Friday afternoon. His roster spot is being taken by Lars Anderson, who has played eight games in the outfield in his career, and all of those have come this season with the PawSox.

Ben Cherington pulled off a trade with his buddy Theo Epstein to get Marlon Byrd to play center field until Ellsbury returns. This move equates to put a patch on a tire until you have time to get it fixed.

Byrd is hitting .070 with three hits on the season. But he’s an adequate outfielder who will at least help out defensively. Maybe the change of scenery will get him going offensively.

We all want to place blame on skipper Bobby Valentine. Most of us didn’t like him because he replaced our beloved Terry Francona so he already had two strikes against him out of the game. But Valentine isn’t to blame.

Sure he had a rough week, maybe the roughest of his life. He made a couple of questionable managerial calls. But he’s not out there throwing a pitch or hitting the ball. He’s just putting out who he thinks is the best players.

Obviously, the starting pitching hasn’t been there. They, as a whole, have had some rough outings but the signs are there that they will come around. Those same signs though are not there for the bullpen.

It’s taking on water quickly and slowly sinking. The bullpen essentially needs an “Extreme Makeover”. But it’s not like you can just go out there and grab bullpen guys this early in the season.

The bullpen will get some temporary help as last night’s starter Daniel Bard is available out of the bullpen tonight and maybe tomorrow before making his regularly scheduled start on Friday.

Personally, I think this move needs to be permanent, at least for this season. You have Aaron Cook who seems to be ready to pitch again in the big leagues. And with Cook having an opt-out clause of May 1st if he’s not in the big leagues, you have a week to make that decision as well. Right now the Red Sox can’t afford to lose him and taking Bard out of the rotation makes the most sense right now.

You also have Daisuke Matsusaka starting his 30-day rehab assignment tonight with the Salem Red Sox. So when his rehab time is up, you have to make another decision. At least, they’ll have a month to determine that.

But for now, we just need to hope that things turn around quickly for our beloved team. Otherwise, we may need to strap in for a long season of second guessing and the what if’s.

We’ll be back later with today’s lineups, batter/pitcher matchups and links from the day. So for now, let’s take at look at the overnight links from the media by clicking on the read more button below if you’re on the home page.

When the Boston Red Sox signed Adrian Gonzalez, the future for Lars Anderson as the first baseman in Boston pretty much went by the wayside.

He spent all of last year toiling in Triple-A with the Pawtucket Red Sox and was almost traded to the Oakland A’s at the trade deadline for Rich Harden. Unfortunately for him, that trade fell through and he was still a man without a home in the big leagues.

The Red Sox had Anderson play some outfield during spring training and he’s seen time there with the PawSox this season. And now his versatility has paid off, at least for now.

With Jason Repko crashing into the wall on Friday afternoon and an eventual diagnosis of a separated shoulder, the Red Sox were left shorthanded in the outfield on Saturday. And even with the acquisition of Marlon Byrd, the Red Sox felt they needed another outfielder.

So with the game being postponed on Sunday night, the Red Sox have decided to put Repko on the disabled list and call up Anderson from Triple-A.

In 15 games with the PawSox this season, Anderson is hitting .255 with one home run and eight RBIs. Of those 15 games played, he saw action in eight of them in the outfield handling all six balls hit his way.

Anderson has appeared in 24 games for the Red Sox in two September callups the past two season and is hitting .175 with four RBIs. Most of his action last year came as a defensive replacement.

With all of the rain here in New England, tonight’s game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees at Historic Fenway Park is rained out.

Daniel Bard will be skipped in the rotation until his next turn and is available to pitch out of the bullpen.

Here’s the release from the Red Sox about the cancellation of tonight’s game:

Boston, MA – Tonight’s Red Sox-Yankees game has been postponed due to inclement weather.

According to the Red Sox professional weather service, Telvent DTN, the current forecast calls for the rain showers that are currently in the area to increase in intensity throughout the afternoon and evening hours, and remain steady into Monday afternoon. This forecast, which also includes high winds and cold temperatures, is consistent with those provided by the other local weather services. A flood watch is in effect for Boston and Suffolk County through noon on Monday, April 23.

The decision to postpone tonight’s game was made as early as possible in hopes of limiting the inconvenience to fans holding tickets to this evening’s 8:05 p.m. contest.

Tonight’s game will be rescheduled for a date to be determined as soon as possible. Tickets for tonight’s game will be good for admission to that rescheduled contest.

Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said after yesterday’s 15-9 loss to the New York Yankees that the team had hit rock bottom. Ya think Bobby?

Your team had a 9-0 lead and you took your starter Felix Doubront before the start of the 7th inning with a 9-1 lead. You went to your bullpen which has struggled at times this season and after the 7th, your team was winning by one run. Then your closer Alfredo Aceves throws 30 pitches without recording an out and by the end of the 8th inning, your team was losing 15-9.

If that’s not rock bottom then I don’t know what is.

Doubront put himself on the map during spring training with his performance against the Yankees in March. He continued that throughout the spring and earned the No. 4 job. Yesterday afternoon, he threw his best start of the young season and deserved a better fate than a no decision.

Now I understand that the Red Sox were up 9-1 but Doubront was only at 99 pitches. Why not put him back out there to start the 7th. He wasn’t showing any signs of laboring at all. And at worst case, you could take him out if he started to struggle. After all, you left Daniel Bard out there in his last start at over 100 pitches and everyone in the world could see that he was fatigued.

But we can’t put the blame solely on Valentine for yesterday’s loss. He’s doing the best he can with what he was given. And in the bullpen that’s not too much. Right now, other than the recent callup, Junichi Tazawa, there’s not one single person down in the bullpen that he can trust.

The Red Sox ownership group along with GM Ben Cherington held a closed door meeting with Valentine after the game. Part of it was to discuss the Marlon Byrd trade but it also was about that they were behind Valentine. Plus they also talked about Bard staying in the rotation.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate tonight and Bard gets scratched, the Red Sox will have a decision to make. Do they push Bard to Monday or do they skip his turn? If they do skip his turn, do they let him pitch out of the bullpen once this week? Or do they put Bard back in the bullpen to plug a tiny part of the Fenway Park sized hole there and call up Aaron Cook who has pitched well in Triple-A?

Personally, I think the Red Sox need to put Bard back in the bullpen. Sure the starting pitching hasn’t been what was expected. But I’m pretty sure no one thought the bullpen would be as bad it is. Yes, the Andrew Bailey injury has made a huge difference, but if the bullpen continues to put up stink bombs, the Red Sox will just continue to be a mediocre team.

We haven’t even gotten to the offense yet, it’s been all about the pitching. The Red Sox offense did its job yesterday.

They got Yankees starter Freddy Garcia out of the game after 1.2 innings. They got to a Yankees bullpen which hadn’t given up a run in 14 innings. They got the results they needed for the win as they backed up Doubront’s solid start.

Unfortunately, the bullpen didn’t back them up.

One other thing, sure the Red Sox ownership group and Cherington gave valentine a collective we’re behind you. Usually that means, you’re on the hot seat and if things don’t turn around soon, a change needs to be made.

Personally, I don’t think that Valentine getting canned or him resigning makes this team any better. They need a huge shake up.

Will Middlebrooks is tearing up Triple-A right now. Sure it’s a small sample size but it’s going to be hard to keep him down there with the PawSox if he continues at that pace. Maybe a big trade is really what this team needs to do to shake things up. They could use Kevin Youkilis to get a reliever that might help things out a little.

Just throwing that out there. Don’t hate!
