All Aboard for Philly

In a rematch of last year's World Series -- oh wait.

In a meeting of the two teams everybody picked to be in the World Series in 2011, the Red Sox head to Philly tonight. (In an odd bit of karma, the Celtics are headed there too.)

Daneil Bard, pitching well lately. gets the start. Cole Hamels, pitching better, starts for Philly.

The Phillies have something in common with the Sox: they're in last place too. Their record is 20-18, compared to the 18-20 Sox. But both teams are on the rise -- Philly has won five straight, and the Sox have won six out of seven.

May the better team win. And may that better team be the Red Sox.
