the Red Sox have two other MVP candidates and an all-star DH in their lineup. let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet

we're pretty evenly matched with them. they have their flaws too but Gonzalez's relative mortality vs. lefties isn't all that much to get excited about imo

Wish we had somebody better than Mikey Mart for 3B, but dems da breaks I guess.

Lester worries me, but we've hit Beckett pretty good the last few years and past that who they got?

i guess they hypothetically go Lester-Beckett-Buchholz-Lackey in a four-game series

seriously though, their 1-6 is Ellsbury-Pedroia-Gonzalez-Youkilis-Ortiz-Crawford

Zo:

Jimmy Rollins stopped by FOX’s The Cleveland Show, where he did some voice work for an upcoming episode. Rollins kept the script to himself, but said Joey Votto and David Ortiz also did some work for it. He said they will be playing themselves.

He said he got a look at his animated self, and thought it looked good.

“It was a lot of fun,” Rollins said. “I got to meet Mike Henry, who plays Cleveland. He was in there with me. It was cool. He was giving me a lot of tips. I’d do it again. One of the producers is from Philly, so she said she wants me to keep coming back. I have an offseason coming up. Holler at me, you know?”

One of those home runs was at a ballgame attended by a bunch of pals, off Clothes Hampers.

I mentioned this before the deadline, but now that he's back playing, I don't really see the downside of waiver claiming old man Blake. He's owed about 2mm for the ROS plus 1.25mm buyout for next year. Should cost almost nothing in prospects. Very limited player at this point but I'd much rather have him than Valdez on the roster, esp given Polanco's difficulties. I also think it's pretty realistic that he'd make it to us on waivers

Fuck no! I hate that man so much, it's an irrational hate that would override any such potential help he might provide.
