Pedroia 2B
Drew RF
Ramirez DH
Lowell 3B
Youkilis 1B
Crisp CF
Varitek C
Cora SS
Masterson RHP

Gardner gets the LF start and leadoff spot in Damon's absence.  Hopefully he can improve on his 1 for 13 so far.

Note to Moose: When in doubt, walk Manny.

And I do believe Masterson  is way overdue for a good, old fashioned beating.

They need him in the bullpen anyway....

bring up gotta-play Clay!

Had heard he was potentially getting called up to go tomorrow against Joba.

That would be interesting, but as of right now, Wakefield still listed.

Clay vs Joba?? That would be cool

...............

They're actually buddies-from their Futures game experience. RSW had the great line that when they stand next to each other they look like the number 10.

LOL

nice time for Manny to come out of the doldrums... he's been late on fastballs while in the slump so he won't have a problemn IF moose decides to show him his heat today

my guess is moose has come to terms with his dealing on Manny  and it's not even to "be careful", it's more like you say, walk him,lol

He can't get him out with any consistency. Hasn't been able to for a while now. If he comes up with runners on, he needs to be walked.
