Damon's a .750 OPS DH right now and will be 38 this offseason. Something tells me the market won't be very big for him, and I'd be shocked if he got enough playing time to reach the mark.

And the Guardians are no longer in 1st.

What about his stuff? Miller's run of strong starts is a little longer, and his stuff is probably miles better. The reports about Millwood's stuff when he started the year on a MiLB contract for the Yankees weren't good. Given his age/injury history, I see no reason to expect that's changed. I mean, when Lackey/Matsuzaka were busy soiling themselves at the start of the year, Brandon Duckworth was pitching well in Pawtucket, but I don't think you would have wanted him up with the Sox, because he has the stuff of a career AAA pitcher, which is what it sounds like Millwood has now. At some point, the good stuff on the resume, the stuff from years ago, gets wiped away as the talent fades. I think that needs to be taken into consideration with Millwood.

6/15? Win.

Seems to be expanding for Big Lame in the 4th. He called a pretty low strike on Ortiz, and a pretty wide one on Saltalmacchia.

Dude can pick it.

Looked like he was trying to bunt for hit, so I don't think it came from the bench.

NESN feed on MLB Network, me likey.

Through the shift....

No more bunting.

I wonder who Tito prefers the NL opponent to be if the Sox make the Series? I certainly don't know, but I've got a good idea who could tell us.

Hafner and Sizemore on the DL isn't exactly a rare thing.

Do you take practice swings while standing in front of the mirror naked and have chicken parm for dinner every night?

Detroit and TB into extras in DET. Here's to a nice 18 inning, bullpen draining game, after which Tampa has to travel home prior to facing the Sox tomorrow.

Game of Shadows chronicles the Bonds PED usage pretty thoroughly. He started after Mac hit 70 in '98. He was pissed about all the attention Mac was getting when he knew Mac was using PEDs. I think it's a safe bet to say he was a 40+ HR guy w/o PEDs. I took androstenedione back in '99 when I was in the Marines, back when it was still legal as an over the counter drug. I took it for 3 months and saw some pretty quick growth and increases in strength. When I stopped, I continued my workout program, and I didn't lose any strength. So, PED give you unnatural growth that you can maintain without continuing the PED. If he was truly clean in 2007, some of what made him that good was the strength he gained with anabolic steroids. Clean or not, they contributed. And, I don't think there's any way you can say for sure that he was clean with any degree of confidence.

I'd prefer contraction/relocation to expansion. Some current markets don't/can't support a MLB team as it is right now.

If this comes to fruition, I like it. I like the idea of no divisions and a balanced schedule - with interleague spread out throughout the season. However, I see no need for a 5th playoff team if these things happen. The whole point of a 5th playoff team right now, IMO, is that they are trying to rectify the situation where a team finishes 3rd in its division with a better record than a division winner from another division. If there are no divisions and the schedule is balanced, the top 4 teams is fair enough.

I think they already are. They were 30-15 the last time the Sox came to town, since then, they've gone 4-13, even losing a series to Minnesota.

Yeah, that's a nice Cougar, but compared to VA, that thing is a homemade go-cart with a 1.5 HP lawmower engine. Just saying. Again, the 2011 Red Sox are pretty good, huh? Good times, try to enjoy it.
