  It's amazing.......totally amazing. As I write this the Sox are 1/2 game out of first place, with Lugo not playing, even when he's standing at SS. Papi continues to look horrible at the plate despite some recent hits. Has anyone looked at his swing? One time he keeps his head and chest into the swing, the next swing he is looking at the right field wall, and you can read Red Sox on his chest in mid swing. Hey Dave Madigan, what the hell are you doing?
  Anyhow, there is still the ability to sit and wait for Lowrie to get back, but keep the three games for Green, one for Lugo platoon going!
  And someone duct tape Papi's chin to his beltbuckle. Every hitting coach I have ever had, heard, or listened to says one thing first. Keep the chin down and look for the ball all the way to the plate.

  A little surprised to hear O.Cabrera to the Red Sox talk but if it isn't them it would be the Yanks talk of addition neither team ever seems to have enough. They sign all these big FA contracts put all stars at almost every position & then still try to pry away other teams stars. Look at Cleveland they have 3/5ths of the starting rotation they opened the season with gone to injury(one mental in former 19 game winner Carmona) they've lost the power bat in Hafner, their gold glove CF in Sizemore & their highly touted 2B/SS A.Cabrara not to mention the problems of injury & ineffectiveness in the pen. So Red Sox & Yanks feel fortunate you are where you are.
