Cheers and jeers
Apparently there was some outrage in New York yesterday after Yankee fans learned that Alex Rodriguez taped a message to be played after Manny Ramirez hits his 500th career home run.

Fighting on (Globe Staff / Stan Grossfeld)

Fighting on

Bill Monbouquette, 71, has been through chemotherapy, gets regular transfusions, and needs a bone marrow and stem cell transplant. The former Red Sox ace refuses to yield in the battle of his life -- against leukemia. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)

Fielder a prince of power

Tim Wakefield will take a special interest in Prince Fielder when the Milwaukee Brewers come here this weekend for a three-game interleague series, and not just because Fielder at 23 became the youngest player in major league history to hit 50 home runs in a season last year. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)
Red Sox notebook

Colon may start for Tuesday

Let the countdown to Bartolo Colon's Red Sox debut officially begin. Having placed Clay Buchholz on the disabled list with a torn fingernail, the Sox need a starting pitcher Tuesday. Yesterday afternoon, Colon all but ensured he'll get the call after he allowed just one hit in six scoreless innings in Pawtucket's 2-0 win over host Buffalo. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)

Merloni on new playing field

Lou Merloni didn't wait until he was retired from professional baseball to pursue another career. The Framingham native was a media favorite when he was playing and he has parlayed that into a position at NESN. Earlier this week, Merloni was named a studio analyst for the Red Sox. He joins Dennis Eckersley, Jim Rice, Ken Macha, and David McCarty ... (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)

Sox trip on Okajima's slip

Solo homers by Jason Varitek and Mike Lowell and a defensive gem by Manny Ramirez weren't enough to prevent the Sox from dropping their third consecutive game in which they had a three-run lead, and fourth straight game overall. Hideki Okajima surrendered a grand slam to Jay Payton that provided the difference. (Boston Globe, 5/15/08)

Catch of the day, and a high-5

Manny Ramirez made an over-the-shoulder running catch, then took the time to high-5 a fan in the stands before throwing the ball in to complete a double play.

Buchholz placed on DL with torn fingernail

The Sox don't want to take a chance that Clay Buchholz might hurt his elbow or shoulder while compensating for the pain in his finger. (Boston Globe, 5/15/08)
Orioles 5, Red Sox 4
J.D. Drew (AP)

Skid stuff

The Red Sox began the game without their manager because of a death in the family. Then J.D. Drew came out in the third with a sprained left wrist after diving for a line drive (left). It only got worse, culminating in David Ortiz being ejected in the ninth as the Sox lost for the fourth time in five games. (Boston Globe)

Bonds indictment revised

Barry Bonds was charged in a new indictment yesterday with 15 felony counts alleging he lied to a grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs and that he hampered the federal government's doping investigation. (Boston Globe, 5/14/08)
Red Sox notebook

Tavarez relieved of duty

The Red Sox have come to believe Craig Hansen could help them more than the little-used Julian Tavarez. (Boston Globe, 5/13/08)

Quarter not worth a lot

A quarter of the way through the season (41 games), the Sox can't seem to separate themselves from the AL East pack, holding just a half-game lead over the young and talented Rays as they begin a two-game series in Baltimore tonight. (Boston Globe, 5/13/08)
