Drew, Lowell sitting out

SAN DIEGO — J. D. Drew and Mike Lowell are not in the lineup tonight, but Red Sox manager Terry Francona indicated both would probably be ready to play tomorrow. Meanwhile, Curt Schilling worked out today (non-throwing workout) in Boston and was en route to San Diego Friday afternoon. He is expected to be at the park either tonight or tomorrow. The possibility has been raised that Schilling might be shut down through the All Star break, but the Sox aren’t committing to that. Francona would not say who’d be making the start for the Sox on Tuesday. The manager did not want to discuss specifics regarding Jon Lester’s eventual return. The Globe’s Gordon Edes has reported that Kason Gabbard will get the Tuesday start.

The Sox are wearing their 1980s retro jerseys tonight and the Padres have scheduled an '80s theme concert after the game. Theo Epstein complimented me on my 1980s hairstyle and thanked me for going along with the theme of the night.
