So how are they going to handle his innings limit and finish increasing his starter workload the rest of the season, i wonder.

He's just going to get sent back down within the next week.

By the way, I edited out the Dempster picture I originally had. It appeared a bit too big.

[Thunder]

Good for you! Have fun! I've always wanted to go to Camden Yards to see the Sox.

[Jasonbay44]

Camden Yards is an awesome ball park, one of the nicest I've been too... I just really hate the city of Baltimore. Its such a shithole.

BOSTON—Several sources confirmed Friday that a man who is paid millions of dollars to play a game was reportedly called gutsy and lauded for a “valiant effort” to hit a small white ball with a wooden stick. “With such a plucky performance, he’s showing some real courage at the plate,” said the game’s commentator, noting the spirited determination and daring of the man who sits for hours at a time during the competition. “It’s nice in this day and age to see a player who is so lionhearted. He’s just completely fearless when he’s behind in the count.” At press time, the person who makes a living by talking about the game was describing a ball being caught in a leather mitten as absolutely beautiful.

Stat of the Day: Dempster has spent 16 seasons in the majors and pitched in 560 games. Tonight will be his first appearance at Camden Yards.

 

Notes: The Red Sox are 2-2 on their six-game road trip and start the day with a 2.5-game lead on the Orioles ... The Sox are 1-4 against the Orioles this season and 8-21 against them going back to September of 2011 ... Dempster is 1-0, 1.47 in three career appearances against the Orioles. He faced them at Fenway on April 10 and allowed three runs (one earned) over five innings. He walked two and struck out seven ... Tillman has pitched very well against the Sox in his career (1-1, 2.97 in six starts). In his last five starts against them, he has allowed six earned runs over 29 innings. That includes April 11, when he gave up two earned runs over 5.1 innings ... Jacoby Ellsbury has stolen a base in six straight games and has 17 in the last 14. He has 30 overall, tied for the major league lead with San Diego's Everth Cabrera.

Middlebrooks eeked over the Mendoza Line last night with the wind blown bloop double. Hopefully, he will start making some consistent hard contact.

[Thunder]

Ross gets another start. Makes sense since Salty caught all 13 last night. Guess Napoli gets another day off.

Tonight, Dempster finds his fastball command and returns to form

[Station 13]

Buck is a lot less of a turd than Maddon.

[Station 13]

Carp swing at too many 1st pitch.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

s*** Carp almost got a hold of that one.

[Thunder]

Guess I missed a pretty boring first.
