Question: Since the all-star game will be played in a NL park, will Papi be part of the line-up?

Encarnacion was safe:http://bit.ly/qPV28m

Gordon Edes Lester to be extensively checked Wednesday He said maybe timing of one start may be altered but with A-S break hopes to avoid DL

good sign!

Damn, I had an unexpected visitor and all these?, what in the hell happened? I left the game 3-0 and reading last posts, looks like Pap almost blow it... that's great, I didn't watched last inning. hehehe Anyway... now lets hope Johnny is ok!

shut this down Pap and take the 50th!

Isn't the lat the muscle that Jake Peavy ripped clean off the bone last year?//It is

well, there is not more details, but maybe just got a little tension in his latissimus dorsi. Hope is not that bad.!

Gordon: Lester left lat strain

from Globe: Extra Bases: Red Sox trade Mike Cameron to Marlins

oh God!, if this is a DL matter for Lester, our hopes are on Lackey's hands, scary scenario.

damn, Lester is injured.

Navarro looks like little Papi to me

look at A-God's CAP

Agreed and fixed. This--->

1. Ellsbury, CF 2. Scutaro, SS 3. Gonzalez, 1B 4. Pedroia, 2B 5. Ortiz, DH 6. McDonald, LF ....taking a spot and 6th? WTF? 7. Varitek, C 8. Drew, RF 9. Navarro, 3B Damn Tito!... Worthless and enough talk about D-McD taking a spot, you must be kidding me , Dammit!! McD surly is thinking: "don't point at me, this is Tito's fault!"

• Lackey has the highest ERA in baseball among pitchers with 60 innings at 7.47. In fact, the next highest ERA is nearly two runs lower (Fausto Carmona at 5.78). He also has the highest home ERA in all of baseball -- an astounding 9.17 -- among pitchers who have thrown 20 innings in their own park. • Lackey has given up five or more runs in nearly half of his starts this season (6 of 13). • Since World War II, he’d currently have the highest ERA for a Red Sox pitcher at the All-Star break (minimum 50 innings). Jerry Casaler currently has that dubious distinction with his pre-break 6.89 ERA in 1960. Matt Clement’s 6.61 pre-break ERA in 2006 is currently second behind Casale. Lackey is scheduled to make one more start before the All-Star break. • If his season ended right now, Lackey would have the second highest ERA in franchise history for a pitcher with at least 50 innings pitched. In 1937, Wes Ferrell had a 7.61 ERA for the Red Sox before he was traded to the Washington Senators along with his brother Rick. Ferrell salvaged his season by going 11-13 with a 3.94 ERA for Washington, but his Red Sox numbers stand out for their futility.

Lackey: 'Everything in my life sucks right now' Let him solve his personal problems and DL, DFA or something. It is obvious that he can't handle the situation anymore. http://eye-on-baseball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22297882/29253260 http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/6660/screenshot20110705at120.png

Any pitcher can't be worst than Lackey these days, bring whoever, but bring him now!
