    Lugo’s activated, but didn’t get the starting nod.

    Per the Globe:

    From tonight on, however, Terry Francona likely will diminish Green’s role at shortstop and use him as a true utilityman. Francona explained the situation to Green yesterday.

    Hey people! I’ll be quite busy with chores around the house for the first hour or so of the game, so I don’t know how much I’ll be commenting before 8, but I’ll certainly be watching.

    Go Red Sox!

    @fc: Welcome to Fenway Park?

  10. 2009 April 27 at 7:04 pm

    Hi all…it is game time. It’s not against the Yankees….but since I am still on the high from that series, I am looking forward to more baseball.

    Let’s go Red Sox!!!

  11. 2009 April 27 at 7:04 pm

    @Liza: That was the idea. ‘Cept we’re not there.

    Hey, all.

    I finally realized what was missing from The Steal last night—DO and Remy. They would have gone totally bananas—and it would have been worth its weight in gold.

  14. 2009 April 27 at 7:07 pm

    @Liza: Hence the shortened greeting. (I wonder if “hence” has ever been used twice before on this blog.)

  15. 2009 April 27 at 7:07 pm

    You gotta wonder what we are gonna get from Lee today.

  16. 2009 April 27 at 7:08 pm

    I continue to be so smitten that Masty went right back to the bullpen.

    @fc: Good question…

    @lone1c: Let’s hope we see a replay tonight, yes?

    Our BP looks like it’s in jail.

    And WTF is Masterson doing in there?

  19. 2009 April 27 at 7:13 pm

    @lone1c: I was wondering the same thing. Maybe he just misses his buds.

  20. 2009 April 27 at 7:13 pm

    @lone1c: He’s been doing that for every game he has not started since being tipped to take Dice-K shoes. I find it flippin adorable. Many would stay in the dugout as long as possible…not Masty. LOVE IT.

    Come on Wake…make it 3 complete games. YOU CAN DO IT. I’ll just take a win….

    Is it in our best interest for 7-8-9 to be Bailey, Kottaras, Green? Not that you should really mess with the top of that order, no sir.

  23. 2009 April 27 at 7:18 pm

    Nice 1st Wake…

  24. 2009 April 27 at 7:19 pm

    Work? Done.
    Dog? Walked.
    Food? On the way.
    Baseball? OH YEAH.

  25. 2009 April 27 at 7:19 pm

    You guys… baseball is one hundred times more interesting than salinity caused by poor water resource management… boo I hate having to be at uni while there are sox games on

    @Texy: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…way too adorable. Love the Longhorns helmet. I have a yellow lab who is as spoiled as a labby can be. We saw “Marley and Me” this weekend and cracked up. Thankfully BJ is a good boy.

    Wake is looking solid again.

    Of course, with the knuckle, that could change any minute.

  45. 2009 April 27 at 7:30 pm

    Wake strikes out the side…SWEET!!!

    Could Wake give us the pitchers duel we were looking forward to the other day?

    @beardoftruth Incase you where wondering, Lugo committed three errors during BP today. Looks like he should be back to mid-season form any day now.

    That’s a burn if I ever saw one.
