We really need Lester to continue his streak of dominance. We need the bats to step up too. I hope guys other than Youkilis and Pedroia step up in the heart of the order.

Any word on Drew?
Globe has nothing
Edit:
QUOTE
J.D. Drew, who was removed from yesterday’s loss after three innings due to tightness in the lower back, is out of tonight’s lineup at Camden Yards for precautionary reasons.
He said that the back tightened up when he raced over to back up center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury on Lyle Overbay’s double to the center field triangle in the third inning and it got more stiff when he returned to the bench.
“You take one step and it almost feels like a little shock going up your back,” said Drew, who is treating the injury with hot-and-cold contrast applications.

Heidi said on NESN that he is nursing a sore back but JD Drew probably won't be sidelined for long.

Hey guys, at least Lowrie is in the line up instead of Cora!
Is there going to be more talk about how Drew is a pansy? I hope not...

One day, Pedroia is goin got hit an opposite field homerun. That day is going to be glorious.

Nice! A double to drive in the.. oh. right. no baserunners.

Pedroia's BA is empty -- he only gets on base when he knows Ortiz isn't going to hit an opposite-field double.

Geez Youk is slow.

I was pretty sure that was an infield hit. I knew Casey was that slow, but Youks?

Wow! That looked like a flashback to the old Tek.
And I don't mean the faithful Christian Tek either.

I missed something. Why was Tek pinch running for someone who hit a HR?
Bellhorn
Aug 18 2008, 06:26 PM
right, Dreamboat, you wouldn't want to give Coco a chance to steal a base or anything. That would be bad.
