Talk about symptomatic of the season! Yesterday, Jenn, the Sox showed what they can do by shredding the Rays 12-5 with homers from Papi, Beltre (back 2 back) and Kalish (his 2d slam of the year). Lester was good enough in six innings to get his 16th win, picking up 10 K's along the way and getting a game WHIP of 1.0. In fact, the Sox were ahead 6-1 after two and 11-2 after four. However, it was also announced that at the same time Tek came back off the DL, Scoot is having an MRI due to possible damage to his shoulder suffered in the finale of the Chisox debacle on Sunday. It never stops! It's like you're afraid to look around because someone who should be there will be next seen in the hospital ward. Unbelievable! There's also an interesting thing about just how badly these injuries have affected the team. Even though he's been out for over two months now, Yooouukk is still listed in the AL top ten in the batting averages! His .307 places him tenth in the league, and his runs scored, which he was either leading or second in the league in when he got hurt would still have him within 19 of the top five in the league.
At least the Sox are getting a good look at the future members of the team in a way that would be unlikely if not impossible in a normal year.
