First baseman/outfielder Mike Carp has one of those tickets, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe – as well as right-handed pitcher Clayton Mortensen, according to WEEI’s Rob Bradford – which means one big question remains: will Jackie Bradley Jr. get...

Mauro Gomez Aiming to Improve Plate Discipline, Believes David Ortiz's Presence Has Been Valuable
For eight years, Mauro Gomez awaited his opportunity.

At least some guys are having fun in the clubhouse
h/t KWAPT
That lovely photo came through David Ortiz's twitter page yesterday. I'm not sure what brought this on or if it is a part of an on-going joke, but it gets a chuckle.
We now know that Jose Iglesias, Pedro Ciriaco, and Mauro Gomez will make awful women. We also know that Mauro Gomez needs to do some crunches.
I guess it is good to dress up like cheerleaders and have...
Mauro Gomez Flourishing Under the Radar, Production Could Result in Reps in Left Field

Bobby Valentine Impressed With Daisuke Matsuzaka's Outing, Effort of Daniel Nava, Mauro Gomez (Video)
