Red Sox at Phillies: June 12th through June 14th

Friday & Saturday 7:05, Sunday 1:35

Records: Red Sox 36-24, 1st Place in AL East (2 games ahead of the Yankees); Phillies 35-23, 1st Place in NL East (4 games ahead of the Mets)
Former Phillies with the Red Sox: The Red Sox have no one currently on their 40-man roster to have spent time with the Phillies. Although they do have someone on their roster who was drafted by the Phillies in 1997, held out for more money, played a year in the Northern League and was eventually signed by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1998 draft. His name escapes me. Current Red Sox manager Terry Francona managed the Phils for 4 years (1997-2000) with current Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills by his side.
Played with the Red Sox and Phillies: Per Baseball Reference.com, 150 players have played for both the Red Sox and the Phillies, including: Larry Andersen, Wes Chamberlain, Rheal Cormier, Jimmie Foxx, Jamie Moyer, Mike Ryan, Curt Schilling and Rick Wise
The Phillies Room Won't Be the First to Ask: World Series preview?
Red Sox Probables: Jon Lester, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Josh Beckett
Phillies Probables: Joe Blanton, Antonio Bastardo, J.A. Happ
