Yikes, Big Papi.

Tonight could be an epic game, but it could also be ugly. Joba vs. Youk in the brawl for it all. Sexy seems like a he's a fighter.

I'd like to see a good ol' fashioned pitchers duel with Beckett and Joba racking up Ks until around the 8th when A-Rod takes Beck yard.

Joba vs. Beck

Joba vs. Youk

The return of Big Papi

Will Manny sit this one out?

and (drumroll please) the tag team matchup of the year..."Overrated" Papelbon & "The Revenge of Red Sox Nation" vs. Mo & the Yankee 9th inning hitters

Will Mo get a save opportunity tonight and hear it from the Fenway crowd or will Paps get his chance and smite the Yankee hitters with his laser-emitting stare?

My predictions:

Beckett pitches a beaut, Joba pitches a beaut, Papi homers in his dramatic return, Arod K's 3x, Joba buzzes Youk, and Paps will get his chance to close but will of course intentionally hit a Yankee batter to cement his name in Red Sox lore

4-2 Sox
