Alexei Ramirez exhibits his grasp of Masset Theory and hits a three-run home run off Nick.



People shouldn't need to be reminded, but Masset should never pitch in high leverage situations. That's what you pay real pitchers to do. While Masset can, for brief periods, show the properties of non-Masset, by definition, it always is Masset.

In other news, Jermaine Dye is out until at least Tuesday with his sore left calf but is available to pinch hit. Carlos Quentin is making some progress but still is in a boot when not working out.

The players brought in to help our speed factor...

are now hitting the homers for us – and it’s helping. I’d rather be a homer-happy Sox team than the fast one that can’t run up the score board.

Pun intended.

Very, very sad commentary

on the organization (maybe just pre-recently) that Wise is our 4th / 5th outfielder.

Career .260 hitter in the minors.

Time to show Greg Walker the door.

the sox could have always hung on to one of their other not so good but likely adequate 4th/5th outfielders instead.

but then i’m sure people would be complaining about reed or young and the lack of pitching.

it’s more of a sad commentary that someones apparently thought it was a good idea to trade nick swisher.

he's the 5th now

so its counterproductive to be bitching about skills from a 5th outfielder. The more important point is about Swisher and that disaster of a trade.

nunez is gonna be awesome, man.

guy is just a late bloomer. i mean, he wasn’t signed out of the DR until he was 20. all the greats do that.

This makes a lot of sense.....

I think we will see Castro catch Floyd on Wednesday to help stop the running game and with LHP Wolf starting.

Winning 2 of 3 against the Dodgers is going to be a huge task……Kuroda, Wolf, Billingsley.
