You've got a gun with one bullet left and MDC and Tek are standing in front of you. Which one do you shoot?

I go and hold up a gun store to get more bullets.

Have them stand in front of one another and hope the bullet passes through the first guy and into the second

Did anybody else just see the eyepatch on Drew? Another peg to the long list on injuries this player has accumulated since coming into the league.

Forgive me if you are being sarcastic, I didnt see this. Were you serious?

Ok, but you still have the dilemma of who you put in the front over the other.

If this were true, it is kind of funny that it is national "Talk like a pirate day"

If he was wearing an eye patch how funny would it be to see video of Drew walking around the clubhouse saying pirate phrases with the eyepatch on?

Easily MDC. Tek at least has a ton of knowledge on opposing hitters that has value to the team.

If he's wearing an eye patch it's far more likely that it's a joke because of international talk like a pirate day than it is that he actually hurt his eye. If it's an actual injury, the irony would be off the charts.

Put myself out of my misery.

I am grateful the Red Sox live in a division with the Orioles and Blue Jays where in 22.2% of our games we can score 6.2 RPG and hit 1.6 HR/G and go 26-6 (812% WP).

JD Drew is hitting 383 with 14 RBI in 13 games against the Orioles, and he is 1 away from his career high in RBI's with the Red Sox (64).

More importantly, if the MFY lose tonight we will be only 4 back in the loss column.

Yeah, it was painted on the NESN bio picture.

It's actually pretty amazing how few RBI Drew has throughout his career.

It is. This year 1/3rd of his RBI are him knocking himself in with a homer. For someone who isn't a big power hitter, that seems weird.

"Sometimes you get away with it," Delcarmen said. "But when it's up in the zone, especially [because] I throw somewhat hard, they turned on it tonight."

In the first 44 games Delcarmen appeared in this season, he didn't allow a home run. In his last 15 games, however, he's given up four. He now has a 13.50 ERA in September. Pitching coach John Farrell said Delcarmen is dealing with an "ongoing maintenance item in his delivery" and he hasn't reached the point where he's been able to consistently identify a way to stop flying open when he pitches.

"Ideally, the ability to make an adjustment in one pitch [is] the goal," Farrell said. "When you see it leak into two, three, four hitters, it's a little more of a stark reality.

"He's just in a little bit of a stretch here where it hasn't happened as readily."

Delcarmen said some nights he's able to keep the ball down, others he is not, and this is the first time in the big leagues he can recall when he's had to find mechanical adjustments for a stretch of time.

"It's frustrating but I know Farrell and Tito are trying to get me to be where I need to be," he said. "They're gonna keep throwing me out there to try and get some work in and hopefully it turns out better than tonight."

There are actually crappy teams in other divisions, too. Shockingly, the AL East is not alone in this regard.

Heck, the central division has 5 of 'em. Think how lucky they are.

His OBI% (from BP stats section) of 13.4% is 67th among 94 hitters in the AL with 400 or more PA. His 3 yr average is 13.5% . Tek (12.5%) and Ellsbury (12.8%) are the only regulars lower for 2009.

You are exactly right, the entire AL central, and the NL is AAAA. In fact, excluding them too, we are 31-36 against everyone else. And none of them are going be a team we face in the playoffs until the World Series.

At least football fans factor in the quality of opposition. Why is this fact ignored here?.

Not that it means much for the playoffs. In the playoffs the hottest team tends to win, not necessarily the best team, and the Red Sox are getting hot at the right time.
