Well, we'll never have to deal with Fat Albers again.

Traded him and Podsednik to the Diamonbacks for Breslow.

[Greg Pappas]

I'm going out on a limb -perhaps- but I admire the Red Sox for acquiring AA knuckle-baller Steven Wright, and giving up Lars Anderson to do it. Great deal for Boston. It's under-the-radar deals like this that help make them formidable, outside their payroll. Wish we were in on Wright.

Link here.

He gets to be reunited with David Hernandez and Bergy is in the org.

Those classy Boston fans booing their injured pitcher after he left the game.

Middlebrooks breaks wrist....Boston just can't get healthy...such a shame.

The Red Sox problems are more than the injuries. The old line 25 players ...25 different cabs maybe true in Boston once again. It would be nice to see the Orioles drive a nail in the coffin next week.
Screw the Red Sox and their ignorant fan base.

Meh...I've never been a believer in that having a real effect. I guarantee you the Cowboy Red Sox of '04 all had their own cabs leaving the park, despite the hype and the narrative, for example.

Baseball is a business performed by professionals. While some guys might like to have fun--and it is always nice to hang around fun people--just acting professional should never be an issue.

Hell, the same thing--hanging out and drinking in the clubhouse--can be interpreted in a completely different way based on team performance: those 2004 Red Sox versus the 2011 Red Sox.

I never like to see anyone get hurt, but I'm sure the Sox would like to have Youk playing third right about now..

If they have given up on the season internally, which I suspect they have, then they are probably still happy to be shed of Youk's contract and attitude.

Maybe I'm nuts, but I don't think they're out of the Wild Card chase.

I don't think they are out of it for good, but I also have a feeling that between the real problems (the constant injuries and the struggles by the starters) and the BS problems (all of the drama the Boston media tries to dredge up from the bottom of the Fens) they don't believe this is their year.

This upcoming series with the Os could get them believing.

[Mike B]

The O's winning the series against Boston could get them to quit and build the O's hopes.

Boston has talent but has problems. I saw Lester showed up today. Not sorry to miss him.

[DJ MC]

Breaking on Twitter through the Boston media. Will link with news report when I can.

[SammyBirdland]

Today tens of thousands of bandwagon Red Sox fans will learn that the Pesky Pole is named after Johnny Pesky, and not named due to it being a nuisance.

RIP.
