Put Swisher at first.. Konerko at a glue factory of his choice and have someone platoon with BA (BA getting the majority of the at bats except for the best right handed pitchers)

don't fear the rays.

sox are 3-4 down there and the rays needed 3 walkoffs to do that? not worried about anyone at home really.

besides, less of that dreaded atmosphere with the rays.

Don't fight the tape, brother

Angels are killing the league and, look, the Rays are now 1/2 game behind them. With no Crawford, Longoria, or Percy. No one thought the Sox had the goods in ’05, either.
