Update [2005-5-3 18:38:19 by Randy Booth]: Mark Bellhorn is back in the lineup, and red hot Kevin Youkilis is sitting on the bench to start the game. Jason Varitek is also hitting 4th instead of David Ortiz, and Doug Mirabelli is DH'ing tonight. Interesting lineup.

Uh... Say What?

Mirabelli, the backup catcher, is... DHing.

....

Youkilis is red-hot, young, needs play time, and... is riding the pine so the backup catcher can DH.

Damn, and I was excited when Payton came into a second grand-slam scenario.

Eh. I'll take it.

Egg On My Face

No kidding. I stand by the statement as it was when it was made, but Mirabelli sure showed me. ;)

Well now...

... you can't hold that against him, can you?

Generosity

I'm a big enough man to accept that sometimes a player I think shouldn't be in a particular position will rise up and smite our mutual enemies with righteous wrath.

Well, OK,

that worked out alright. But if Mirabelli strikes out in that situation the screams would have been loud indeed. Chalk that one up to Tito's luck finally evening out a little, I'd say.
