Batter-up with Bruno:
It's October 1 and you know what that means?It's officially Soxtober time in Boston.
Soxtober was created in 2007 in, but sparked controversy saying it was copied from the Colorado Rockies when they created the catchy slogan of "Rocktober."
However the more ironic part of this story is that "Rocktober" was already taken by computer game manufacturer Activision, when they filed a computer software application for the phrase "Legends of Rocktober."
In the end, Activision holds the trademark.
The Cleveland Indians are coming to town for the next four days as catcher/first baseman Victor Martinez faces his former club for the first time since the trade.
The series will feature Boston's four potential playoff starters, which includes Jon Jester, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Josh Beckett, and Clay Buchholz.
This is the last time they'll all get in some work before flying out to face the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the American League Division Series, which means they needed to have themselves in playoff mode.
There's a chance that Saturday's game could be washed out with hard rain predicted in the forecast, which means Sunday could turn into a day/night doubleheader. If that happens, it'll be interesting to see if Terry Francona makes kind of adjustments with the rotation.Like what you see? Follow me on Twitter http://twitter.com/batterupbruno
