One thing about this Stairs. He will give you a short quick swing...(pause) most of the time.
WTF is that supposed to mean Hawk. That was profound.

I know what we’re missing. It’s that edge, that grind.

Can Pablo be dropped from the roster now? He brings no unique skills to the lineup—the Sox already haave a bunch of other players that make outs.

13 man pitching staff, 12 position players
Your starting pitchers are on a hellacious run of awesome pitching, but you gotta have that 13th pitcher.
Then of course BA pinch runs, that leaves AJ and a brain-damaged Joe Crede on the bench and Pablito at the plate.
Well, we’ll make it back on the West Coast trip.
