Put Aceves back into his role from 2011, along with Padilla who looks pretty competent in the long arm situation so far, with Melancon/Bowden/Thomas for the 7th, try Morales at setup, and try to swing a decent trade for Uehara and see if he can close for awhile until Bailey is back.. I think the pen would be a lot better than it is now.
If Melancon can find his sack and remember how to pitch that is.
Bobby V should ban games of thumb war in the clubhouse too, look at the damage it's done so far!!!
*Meanwhile in the clubhouse*
Beckett & Bailey: "1, 2, 3, 4 I declare thumb---"
Bailey: "Ow, f***!"
Beckett: "Me too!"
700, they may just call it BC surgery after all.
Andrew Bailey takes a shower, requires Ben Cherington surgery on his thumb.
Josh Beckett scratches balls, requires surgery.
What's next?
