Good for you bb

That and a questionable starting rotation

I'm leaving work at 4:20, time to pick up some beer AND not miss the first pitch :thumbsup: WIN/SWEEP DAMMIT!!

Manny an unexpected scratch Posted by Gordon Edes, Globe Staff July 23, 2008 02:32 PM Terry Francona said Manny Ramirez showed up this morning and said his right knee was sore,an overnight development that the manager said caught him by surprise. The trainers had not communicated any issue to Francona after the game. "He showed up this morning, I wasn't ready for that,'' Francona said. "He said his right knee hurts.'' Francona then joked, "The (expletive) jaywalking, if you do it right, you won't hurt your knee.'' In any event, Kevin Youkilis will be hitting in Ramirez's No. 4 hole, Sean Casey will DH and Jacoby Ellsbury will be in left field against Felix Hernandez, the Venezuelan right-hander who is the Mariners' best pitcher. Francona said he had planned on using Casey as DH, anyway, but had envisioned Ramirez in left and Ellsbury in center. Coco Crisp, 1 for 11 against Hernandez in his career, was not scheduled to play, but now will be in center. Francona elected to keep Jed Lowrie at short instead of Alex Cora, who might have expected to play a day game after a night game. The manager has now started Lowrie in five straight games and praised the way he has performed. He's batting .385 (5 for 13) with 3 RBIs and has played well in the field. Hernandez will be making his third start since going on the DL after spraining his ankle when Carlkos Beltran slid into him in a play at the plate. In his last start, against the Guardians July 18, he went six innings, allowing two runs on four hits while whiffing eight. He is 1-1 with a 3.29 ERA in two starts against the Sox this season. He has pitched better against the Sox in Fenway Park (15 scoreless innings) than in Safeco (5.31 ERA, 12 ER in 20 1/3 IP).

Pedroia's play at 2nd/up the middle (earlier in the game) was a web gem.
