Dye Another Day? - Tomorrow maybe?

Dye chances 'pretty good'
By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff
While Foxsports.com is reporting that the Braves and Rangers have a deal in place for Mark Teixeira, a major league source said a short time ago that chances were “pretty good” that the Red Sox would complete a deal with the Chicago White Sox for outfielder Jermaine Dye.
In exchange for Dye, the White Sox would get Wily Mo Pena and a minor league pitching prospect (not Clay Buchholz or Jon Lester).

He's Baaa-aack!!

Manny is Back to Being Manny (none too soon), as offense finally picks up a mediocre pitching and defensive performance. That's 3 out of 4 on the Road from a playoff team.

Playoff Worthy Win

Wow, a long time between quality wins, but this was worth it. 1-0 road victory against a quality team and WITHOUT the Big Man!

Road Trip!!

It's Official

Sox Hitting is Pathetic with Runners In Scoring Position.

Sox may have to pay dearly to acquire bat(s) at the trading deadline.

Sox Polite Hitting Continues, i.e., not offensive

As I recall the Sox at some point this season could hit as well as pitch. This slide into mediocrity is getting very familiar.

If You Can't Beat 'Em

After last night's victory, Ortiz elaborated on the condition of his knee, saying last year he had undergone an MRI that showed a small tear of the meniscus cartilage. He said last weekend in Detroit, and reiterated last night, that he sustained the injury in June of last season, when he got tangled up in the netting of the batting cage at Yankee Stadium. Ortiz said he did not have surgery last season because he did not have inflammation. "It wasn't bad, you know, it wasn't getting inflammation," Ortiz said.
