(MLB) makes the schedule and it’s not just the 20 games in a row we play — 8 o’clock getaway games in Oakland. There’s not enough [complaining] and moaning that goes on to get it changed. I don’t know what we can do“That’s what strings guys out,” he said. “It’s tough playing 20 in a row, anyway, but whenever you get Sunday night baseball here and Sunday night baseball there, it’s at 8 o’clock and you don’t get home until 5 in the morning. Then you’re right back out there the next day.” Beckett (2-2) struck out a career-high 13 and walked one in seven innings for the Red Sox, who have lost five straight. He allowed two runs, one earned. And four hits. Beckett struck out the first five batters he faced.

Exhausted Beckett Speaks Out...
“There’s nothing you can do,” said Beckett. “Tito’s hands are tied. It’s going to be nice to get Mike Lowell back pretty soon..”

Welcome Back Captain Varitek
Our fearless leader has finally returned! Not a moment to soon either. Rookies and banged up veterans did their damnest to hold on to the lead in the Al East. All told, they did an outstanding job against Texas and LAA. I got a chance to see the kids play and get to know their personalities somewhat. But, please God, give us back our Red Sox! It's just not Red Sox ball without Varitek, Beckett, Lowell, Cora, Dice K, Crisp, Schilling, and on and on...
I'm so happy that Tek is back. It was so frustrating for me to see Cash play such a sloppy game.
I dislike Kevin Cash so much I'm beginning to see him in Yankee pinstripes. He has done a good job, offensively. But behind the dish he's a train wreck. Granted, the best way to catch a knuckle ball is to wait for it to stop rolling and pick it up. Cash seems to think it's the only way. He was scouted as a player who was offensively weak but tight on defense. Pfffft yeah, right. Give us Dougie!
"Pedroia the Destroya" continues his hitting streak and is putting up monstrous numbers!
He has become Big Papi's "Mini Me". Dustin has now tied his personal best with 14 consecutive game hits. With a trash mouth and a huge bat, how can I not love this kid?
His on base percentage is 386 and a slugging average of 476. He has a batting average of .340 Wow.
Raise your hand if you are happy that our little "Timex" is wearing Red Sox.
He's got himself trophy for Rookie of the Year. If he doesn't win a gold glove this year, you know the vote was rigged.
I came across this picture of Dustin at "Us Versus Them" I bet it makes you giggle!
