The week ahead for the Sox

The Sox will be playing the Yankees one week from right now. Here’s what they have left in spring training:

Monday — Rays at 7:05: Josh Beckett makes his final start of the spring

Tuesday — at Tampa Bay at 1:05 (ESPN): Casey Kelly gets a shot against one of the best teams in the game. Should be interesting.

Wednesday — at Baltimore at 1:05: Jon Lester’s final tune-up.

Thursday — Minnesota at 1:05 (ESPN): Mayor’s Cup tilt for pride only as John Lackey starts.

Friday — Washington at 1:05: Goodbye to the Fort with Clay Buchholz on the mound.

Saturday — Vs. Nationals in Washington at 4:05: Seemed like a good idea before the opener was moved to Sunday. Tim Wakefield and Daisuke Matsuzaka will split the pitching duties.

Minor league schedule for this week:

Monday: Daisuke Matsuzaka, Boof Bonser, Manny Delcarmen

Tuesday: Tim Wakefield

Wednesday: Jonathan Papelbon and Hideki Okajima

Did anybody out there have Duke, Butler, West Virginia and Michigan State? I sure didn’t. I’m rooting for the Mountaineers
