********** So how'd you guys like getting worked by a AAA farm club last night?
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Hmm, Tigers AAA team never seems to have that much luck !
Kevin Youkilis to have season ending surgery on his thumb.
NEVER in all my years following sports have I seen a team get hit by the injury bug like this Red Sox team!
Every year, some team gets decimated like this, whether it's baseball or football.
Tigers have taken quite a hit in the last month.
They went from a team that was contending to a NOBODY because of it.
The good news for the Red Sox is, they are now only missing two everyday players. The bad news is, it is their best two, and one is gone for the season.
The five starters are all looking very good... good enough to cover for their horrific middle relief. Tonight, Dice-K gave up one run in eight innings, but when they tried to get Papelbon a second day off in preparation for a four game series with the Yankees, Okajima allowed three of the four batters he faced in the top of the ninth, forcing the Red Sox to bring in Papelbon for what had deteriorated into a save situation.

Nevermind. I spoke too soon. Santana will be undergoing season ending surgery. Recovery time is at least 6 months.

But nothing was broke ?
Thats definately a good sign.

True, but the surgery is to repair his lateral collateral ligament. Sometimes knee ligaments, especially in catchers can be worse than a broken bone. Let's hope he makes a full recovery.
It's a shame though. I really thought Santana would be in the running for ROtY.
Kid looked like a really good backstop the times I saw him. I also hope for a full recovery.

Morrow of Jays was just 1 out from a no hitter and he blew it. I bet he almost feels like Armando Galarraga.
Jacoby Ellsbury, playing in just his 15th game of the season, tied a Red Sox single game record by stealing four bases, thereby raising his season total to six and moving himself into second place for the Boston Clydesdales, uh, I mean Red Sox. Since the current club stolen bases leader, Dustin Pedroia, only has eight and is on the DL, look for Ellsbury to regain his mantle of team stolen base leader within the next couple of days.
The Red Sox now have 39 games remaining in which to either gain four on Tampa Bay or six on the Yankees, but tomorrow begin a three game series against the best fourth place team in baseball, facing three hot starters, and go from there to Texas.

The Red Sox have called up newly acquired catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia to replace the injured Kevin Cash. Apparently Jason Varitek (broken foot) is still a couple of weeks away. Now Victor Martinez can share the first base duties with Mike Lowell (his hip won't allow him to play there every day).
Also, Dustin Pedroia will start a rehab stint in AAA, and could be activated as soon as next Tuesday.

Tigers beat the Jays today so the Red Sox have an oppertunity to pick up a game on them and the yankees play the 1st place Rangers.
Yet another BS for Papelbon. Bard replacing him in the 9th after allowing 3 runs to tie. :rant:
From the SatelliteGuys archives:
Blown save number 6. Must lead the league.
Edit/update: The Boston Herald reported on August 10th that he had 28 saves in 32 opportunities, so todays blown save might have been only his 5th. Still, since he's getting $9+ million this year and is arbitration eligible once more, they need to cut him, or he'll become a $12+ million a year, pedestrian relief pitcher for them next year.

Can I interest you in Todd "Roller Coaster" Jones ?
How about his TWIN, Fernando Rodney ?
