Well, Jenn, about Papi, I understand the booing. Like you, I don't agree given who it is, but even Teddy Ballgame got booed on occasion. Buy the way, with last (Wed) nite's game, his HR total is now up to four on the year, a full month ahead of last year. I thing he's definitely NOT the Papi of a few years ago, and, unfortunately, never will be again. But I also think he has value to the team, is still a threat in many cases, and should be given some slack by the fans.
Now, the team. With the pitching the past couple of night, topped off by last nite's, it appears (let's see how Dice does today), the staff is doing what it was supposed to do. Lester on Monday, followed by Bucky Tuesday and Lackey last nite were satisfactory to very good, and both Bard & Laser last nite were phenomenal, each pitching a perfect inning, Pap getting a league leading 8th save.
Beltre's doing his job at the plate, and Lowell has been a renaissance of himself at the dish. Keeping my fingers crossed it continues, because the Stripes are in town Friday for a pair and the pace they and the Rays are going at will require it.
