14-1

Middlebrooks is likely out for the year.
Ortiz should be back late August.
Shoppach has made himself available.
Andrew Bailey to return tonight.

Opening up a big series against the Orioles tonight. Looking for Gonzo and Pedroia to continue their hot hitting and win us the series.

Can't wait for Beckett to pitch a gem.

Bobby really has no fault in this. Even if he is doing an awful job as a manger, the players are to blame. No one else.
I'm glad he left Lester in for 11 runs. He has been pitching much better since.
As for Youk, he only got traded so Middlebrooks could play everyday. To say he got traded because he was to first player to express his opinion is a load of crap.

Why does Melancon pitch if he gives up at least 1 ER every outing?

Bard faced 5 batters tonight in AAA with a 4-run lead and he walked four of them..ouch

Ruined by Bobby V.
Some hot Cook`in tonight...

Bump

It wasn't Bobby V... It was Cherington and ownership that wanted to move Bard into the rotation. Bobby V was vocally against it the entire time.
