The "Masterson-->C" B.S.

As in, the "Masterson to Cleveland" bullshit. As in, The Masters...on CBS. Get it?

Anyway, that's the only BS part about the deal, the fact that Masterson has to go. I just don't get what happened there. I thought he had settled in as the setup man, instead he became the "last gasp/long-man" for no particular reason. So the first true "favorite player" I've had in a while didn't have a very long run.

But getting Martinez is pretty perfect, only because Lowell's surgery seemed to, like, not work very well. He still can't move. He can hit, though, so he can still be in the lineup and between him, Martinez, Youk, and Papi, we've go the 1st-3rd-DH thing covered, and then we've got Tek getting rest since Martinez is a catcher, too.

I'll have to post my picture of LaRoche, since it turned out to be the only one--he turns into Crotch Man....

Sox at home against Baltimore tonight. (Our Maryland home.)

What would really be sweet is if these guys could take a few turns in right field, so J.D. Drew could have a few turns riding the pines as well. I know Drew's been better the last few games, but he's just so... well, you know. He is who he is.

(Sorry - couldn't resist.)
