Final Score
Red Sox 6
Blue Jays 3
“Little� Papi Comes Up Big: David Ortiz continues to pound Toronto pitching and he’s even added a little “small ball� to the repertoire.
After belting another one yesterday, Big Papi now has 10-home runs in his last 13-games against the Jays. Perhaps more importantly, he added a bunt single against the shift teams have been deploying against him. “You gotta do what you gotta do� said the Sox DH. It says here if he keeps doing it, his power numbers may go down, but he’ll end up with a career high batting average and help the team more in the long run.
Far From D-O-N-E: A quick note here to reader Christo; I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong. Are you ready to take back your “Keith Foulke is done� argument? Seems to me the Red Sox now have the best of both worlds. A rock solid closer in Papelbon and a pretty good set up guy in Foulke.
How about the rest of you Foulke bashers? You have a different opinion now? And what about Big Papi? Should he bunt a few more times against the shift to try to draw teams out of it? Or should he just slug away and "hit it where they ain't"...over the fences?

Did anyone pick up on the song they played when Papelbon came out to pitch? They played "Wild Thing" It was hilarious. Also, the back of his head was shaved like Charlie Sheen's. Good stuff.

Is Christo and George HR the same person? No wait, Christo's not a Yankee's fan, or is it not an Arroyo fan or is it not a sports fan, or just a Yankee's fan? Complicated people these people they are.

Complicated to only those who are a little less fortunate then the rest. I can help you.
Christo doesn't like Foulke, I think the Sox management are pathetic. I love the Yankees, Christo hates the yankees. I definitely think and Christo has to think your an idiot. So, there's really only one variable that could make us the same person. So, your theory, as always, is wrong.

Christo I think he's got you here. I'd rather see Foulke than Timlin enter the game at this point. Apologize and get it over with. However Teddy if you hint one more time they take Papelbon out of the closer's role you're going to lose me. Keep him there he's unhittable. Go find another starter to replace Wells instead.
