The buzz: 05/12/08

RED SOX:

The Sox put the wraps on a four-game set with the Twins tonight at 7 in Minnesota (NESN, AM 680 WRKO). Clay Buchholz (2-2, 4.50 ERA) will be making his first career start against the Twins, while Minnesota is set to counter with veteran righty Livan Hernandez (5-1, 3.83 ERA).

CELTICS:

The Celtics and Cavs meet in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series tonight at 8 (TNT, Sportsradio 850 WEEI). Much has been made of the fact that Boston has struggled at home throughout this postseason, but Paul Pierce had our favorite quote on the matter. After Saturday’s loss, he said: “On the road it’s going to take a little bit more ... we’ve got to learn our lesson pretty soon.”

REVOLUTION:

The Revs host San Jose Saturday night at 7:30 at Gillette Stadium (TV38).
