PrintBoston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles, Aug 18, 2008 7:05 PM EDT

Papi doubled in the first
But Youk swung at a 3-1 pitch and tapped it to Guthrie for the out.
I've never understood why people do that kind of thing to their kids

Wrigley isn’t an awful name, it’s weird to be sure, but at least the dad wasn’t a White Sox or Astros fan.

Tek goes deep
Coco bunts for a hit. Ellsbury continues to fail in the leadoff spot. He was hitting well at the bottom of the order. Tito should put him back there.

Not trying to be pessimistic
But is it realistic for the Sox to be able to retake first place?
Only if Tampa cools off
If they don’t, there’s nothing you can do.

Most incentives
are put into older players’ contracts. Like Schilling and the weight clauses. Young players are playing for their future big contracts and to stay in the majors, so they hardly need incentives.
Doubtful
They usually only give stuff like that to performance incentivized players. Like a Schilling, or Colon. Someone who’s trying to make a comeback, usually. Not typically a young player like Lester.
One of the recent draftees got a contract with incentives for MVP results...
