Wei-Yin Chen Tonight

[Malike]

You're out of your element.

Where exactly is my element? And how can I get back there? I'm so scared and alone out here.

Anything less, and we'll probably lose.

Not that far off, Malike! You called the SHO and there was only one real BB. You seem to be in your element!

Mission accomplished Malike. But we need you to stay out there for Miguel tomorrow! Be a hero!

[WEAVERMAN]

Thanks Wie Yin, great work as usual. C'mon Miguel, you can do it too, we will score off Price on 8/5/12.

My goal is to see Ellsbury's hit streak against us end. I'm almost to the point where I don't care if they walk him every time he comes up just to end it.

Pedroia and AGon are on fire right now, I think we are going to see a lot of runs on both sides, a dog fight!

Chen got his "bad game" out of the way in his last outing. He hasn't had 2 bad games in a row all season, so you might not want to assume that the Red Sox will necessarily knock him around tonight.

Need Chen to shutdown the BoSox and get back on track. They hit lefties just as well as righties, so he's going to have to be perfect tonight.

I think we can hit Beckett hard and take this game, though.

Prediction for Chen: 6 1/3 IP, 3 R, 2 ER, 6 K, 2 BB
