I would feel a lot more optimistic about the second half if I knew the return dates of all of our injured players, esp. Schreiber, Houck, Story, and McGuire. (I don't look forward to many games with Alfaro catching. If his hair had some Sampson-like qualities, okay, but it seems merely decorative.)

Schreiber just had a rehab appearance.
Houck will start throwing next week.
Story should be back sometime in August.

I would like to apologize to Rooker, he's a legitimate MLB hitter, not a glorified High A player.

Saw a reference to it in the Teel thread (as a joke) , but is aqua man as awful as I thought at catching/receiving? Seems like multiple strikes/pitches were turned into balls. Plus the error..

It's obviously been covered, but I still can't believe Yoshida hit a ball at shoulder height over the monster. That's gonna keep me warm until Friday. Also, way to go, JTB!

I just tuned in to NESN for Sox in Two so I could see that incredible home run by Masa in the 8th. I usually don't use the word "incredible," because it's become a synonym for amazing. I mean that home run was hard to believe, the way he hit that FB so high and apparently near the end of the bat and powered it to the Monster seats. That guy is so so talented.
