Terry Francona, stop texting pictures of yourself wearing only a towel to my 27-year-old girlfriend.

Rob is such a toolbox!

He wants to stay in Miami as long as possible.

Josh Beckett is heading to the 15-day DL with a bad shoulder. The good news it isn't expected to have any negative impact on his golf game.

Papi speaks

David Ortiz vents: People need to leave us alone and let us play baseball
In the midst of perhaps the Red Sox’ best stretch of the season — six wins out of their last seven games — designated hitter David Ortiz vented some pent-up frustrations before tonight’s game.

When asked if he was having fun with the Red Sox this season, Herald reporter Scott Lauber reports that Ortiz said, “Not really. Too much (expletive), man. People need to leave us alone and let us play baseball.”

In speaking about the media coverage, “Every day it’s something new, so much drama, so much (expletive).”

In response to the external pressure of playing in Boston, Ortiz said, “It’s starting to be the (expletive) it used to be. Playing here used to be so much fun. Now it’s something new every day.”

Awwww. He's not having fun? Tell you what big guy, give back the $14M you're getting to play here this year and you can go somewhere that's more fun. He was a free agent last fall...why didn't he go somewhere fun then?

You know what *is* fun?

Watching Middlebrooks, Saltalamacchia, Aviles, Kalish, and Nava pull this team a couple games over .500.

Given the pitching problems, the injuries to position players could have made this season completely joyless. It's the replacement players and 2nd-tier starters who have kept Boston from totally falling on their head.

I love it when the high number players carry a team.

Trade for Youkilis imminent. It appears the Red Sox will get Matt Thornton from the White Sox. Thornton is a middle reliever with a 3.23 ERA and 27 K in 30.2IP. He was a 2010 All Star and is set to make $5.5M this year and next with a team option for $6M in 2014.

I was at the game last night. You know who else was there? Roger Clemens. Sitting in the monster seats. Wearing a white shirt and white Fenway 100 Years baseball hat. They showed him on the jumbotron and I was like "That looks like Roger Clemens." And then they put the graphic up that it was him and people started booing. I wonder why he showed up. I haven't seen anything about it.

Re: Sweet Valentine! The saga of the 2012 Boston Red Sox

That's definitely odd...

and I would have booed too.

Re: Sweet Valentine! The saga of the 2012 Boston Red Sox

The White Sox - Red Sox trade fell through because of Youkilis' past filled with injuries. Might be more difficult to move him than anticipated...

Played for the Yankees and extended his career with steroids...

Duke was right: He was near the end in 1996, then he found the Fountain of Youth in a needle.

Re: Sweet Valentine! The saga of the 2012 Boston Red Sox

Well, you can't fault him for wanting to play closer to home. Though someone needed to show him an atlas to let him know that Toronto is further away from Texas and in another country.
