We can only hope that Boston mastermind Terry Francona continues to bat David Ortiz in the middle of his lineup. That more than compensates for the the Matsui double play machine that the Yankee lineup endures. My fear is now that Ortiz's BA has plummeted back below .220 that Francona might park "The Great Denial" on the bench.
We also need to thank Granny Glasses for providing us with some of the most hilarious moments ever witnessed in a major league outfield since, well, since the advent of Johnny "The Tap Dancer" Damon and Nick "Where? What? Doh!" Swisher. You know my disposition regarding Kevin "10 3/8" Youkilis but he deserves better than to be stuck in left field, particularly in Yankee stadium, so that Casey "The Flapping Elbow" Kotchman can bring his .111 BA to an already needy lineup.
And final cudos to He of the Daintily Placed Cap on Bald Head and Great Spit Wad of Bubble-gum for allowing Yes I'm the Captain Can't You See My Shirt Says So Varitek to catch most of games and flail away at the plate. A thing of beauty.
I wonder if Theo Epstein can sign the recently released professional bean baller Vincente Padilla in time for Sunday's game?
OK. That's clearly a cheap shot at a guy who assembled the best team of juicers of the Steroid Era. I really need to give credit when due.
