Dustin Pedroia gets a night off, so you know he is happy. It's clearly a precaution as he will appear on the cover-that-shall-not-be-named this month. Keep him secret; keep him safe, Tito!

Jim Thome is still chasing his 600th; as of tonight he is two dingers away. It isn’t likely to happen tonight and I, for one, hope he can wait a bit longer.
It’s a clear night, a cool 60 degrees in
Go Red Sox!
