Didn't get to see the game. Looks like Lester is finally starting to come around. A little late unfortunately . Maybe a good sign for next year? Positive thinking

Yeah he is. Once Beckett gets traded, we'll be fine. I hope that they put Andrew Miller into the rotation. Watch Beckett throw a no-no in his first stat with LAD.

Andrew Miller? He simply doesn't work well as a starter, we saw that in 2011 and he's had the best season of his career as a reliever. Why mess with it?

It's probably what BV will do.

I was at Fenway last night...fun game to watch. Obviously, reports of the pending trade overshadowed the game. When Gonzalez was scratched from the starting lineup (he was announced in the 5-hole, but then Gomez came out to play the first inning), we knew it was for real.

 

But aside from that (which, obviously, is huge), we saw the return of David Ortiz. Electrifying. We saw the continued amazing play of Ciriaco. We saw more good mound work by a resurgent Jon Lester (hope his leg is ok). But more than all that, IMO, I think we saw the changing of the guard at closer. I think Aceves' recent struggles, combined with Bailey's solid performance = Bailey moving into the closer's role, with Ace moving back into the "whenever we need some outs in a key spot" role, whether that's in the 7th or 8th or whatever. And that's where he should be, IMO.

 

So very exciting day for Red Sox fans all the way around.
