Some happy news to report: Dustin Pedroia made it to the hospital in Boston in time to see his wife, Kelli, give birth to a healthy, 7-pound, 20 1/2-inch long baby boy. The Pedroias named their first child Dylan.

"It's good," Kevin Youkilis said. "I think it's great for him after everything she's been through, Dustin's been through mentally. It's going to be a great thing for Dustin."

Also, pitching coach John Farrell is home in Cleveland attending to a family issue. For tonight, bullpen coach Gary Tuck will serve as pitching coach.

  1. Congratulations, Pedroia family! God bless you and your new little one, Dylan. Happy news is good news! Now we will win tonight for sure! (Of course, having Beckett on the mound and Youk back "home" doesn't hurt our chances, does it?!?!?) You just have to keep the faith. Believe in Boston! Believe in miracles...they do happen. And Dylan Pedroia is living proof! GO, SOX.

  1. Dylan!
    The littlest Sock!
    Congrats to the Pedroias!
    P.S. Seeing as Kelli just went through pregnancy, bed rest, labor... perhaps you could say "the Pedroias named their first child Dylan," instead of "Pedroia named his first child Dylan," Adam?

  1. Sheesh Adam, don't you think Kelli had some say in the name???
