Francona is making a strong case for himself as manager of the year with the way he's kept this team playing well and in contention despite the huge number of injuries to the core starting lineup.

Now if he would only take his tiring pitchers out one batter earlier.
(see Matusaka's record as evidence)

He said he was groggy. Sounds like bull to me. He likes to throw heat and gets shelled whenever he does that and nothing else. Idiot needs to remember that he has more than one pitch.

So you're saying that BS stands for more than "blown save" here?

It may be time to swap him and Bard. I know Papelbon would be royally pissed ... tough.
We're still only 4 1/2 games out of the wildcard ... We can't afford to carry a primadonna who has clearly lost it. Pitch a few clean eigth innings and we'll talk about getting your closer role back.

Report is that the Sox claimed Johnny Damon off the waiver wire--now that would be fun

Yeah, it'll be fun to see if the Fairweather Park faithful will cheer him or boo him.

He'll be cheered --- his Yankee years are behind him and the Fenway Faithful wont forget his contribution to Breaking the Curse

Wait, is that a yankee fan calling us fairweather? Have you ever looked at the stands at yankee stadium in the 8-9th inning of a game the yanks are losing? Strangely empty...

Anyway, the crowd at Fenway will cheer him, especially if he shows up with a beard
