Hmmm...two teams with a history of violence and little left to play for but the shoring-up of their dilapidated egos. What could go wrong?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I wonder if warnings are issued before the game tonight. 

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Warnings will be issued after Price intentionally hits a Red Sox hitter. Again. 

 

[Plympton91]

Nonetheless, good to see Ortiz is in the lineup. Phew.

 

[Coachster]

So, Peavy was scheduled to start Sunday. Who replaces him?
 
It won't be Workman. He pitched Thursday. Ranaudo pitched last night. Wright last pitched on the 23rd. Matt Barnes is scheduled to pitch for the Pawsox Sunday, but that won't be the answer. 
 
Felix?

We've all been increasingly critical of Farrell's in game decision making, but as we've all learned over the course of the past 15 years or so is that the more important aspect of a manager is how well he relates to the players and how hard they will play for him. The final two months plus of this season will be a test of those qualities in Farrell. I hope this isn't going to be the tank job that the 2012 season was once they started playing out the string. Tonight's US Postal Service special isn't a promising start in that regard.
