I'm glad they got Varitek out of there. Now, there's "only" three black holes in the lineup: Ortiz, Drew and Green. The jury is out for Kotchman.

Why isn't Josh Reddick playing? Papi should have gotten today off and started Lowell at DH instead.

This line-up is a joke, right?

Why are the Sox playing 4 left handed batters against Sabathia? Why not sit Ortiz and play, er, er, what the hell they can't get right handed batters in if Varitek need rest and Bay is out, whew.

Ok this is where thr Sox sock it to the Yanks. 12-3 today and Sabathia is bombed and Clay pitches a shutout - hum, I'm not well.

Ortiz is still in the five slot what a waste!!! He needs to move down.... to maybe Alabama T Ball. No Fenway franks in October this year!!!
