Good luck to him, just not against us.

EDIT: So the tentative starters for the weekend series are:

Matsuzaka vs. Karstens
Wakefield vs. Igawa
Tavarez vs. Wang

Correct?
Any chance Tavarez becomes Lester if Lester pitches well at AAA and Tavarez doesn't tomorrow? I don't want to rush Lester, but he could be better than Tavarez and the sox have already rushed him a little bit, given that they're saying he's only 2 starts away. I thought for awhile there we were talking a few months.
