So you now have 1 guy in the rotation who doesn't suck?

I didn't know Manny was a pitcher.Only because he hasn't pitched against Manny in a while
I didn't know Manny was a pitcher.
He probably still could pitch better than Kennedy.
Sox just finished up the game, 5-0 win. 81 games down, 81 to go. Sox sit at 49-32.. after a ton of injuries that's a pretty good place to be. If they can play the 2nd half as well as the first half, that's a good season.
Also some good news:
Extra Bases
Looking forward to seeing him in Pawtucket in a few weeks.
garza with a gem through six

NEW YORK -- New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel said all he wanted from umpire Brian Runge was an apology. On Wednesday night, he got one.
Runge apologized to Manuel when Manuel brought out the lineup card for the Mets' 8-2 win over the Seattle Mariners, according to MLB.com and New York-area media reports.
On Tuesday, Runge ejected Manuel and Carlos Beltran for arguing a called third strike, and Runge appeared to bump Manuel before tossing him.
On Wednesday, Manuel said all was forgiven.
"[Runge] had spoken to his father [Paul Runge, a former MLB umpire], who actually is a good friend of mine," Manuel said after Wednesday's game. "And he felt very bad about the whole incident. I accepted [the apology]. No problem."
The mended fences between Manuel and Runge didn't prevent MLB from suspending Runge one game, which will be served immediately. The league also fined Beltran and Manuel.
The incident in Tuesday's game started when Beltran talked to Runge after he took two called strikes from R.A. Dickey to begin the inning. Runge took off his mask and continued the dialogue before he brushed dirt off home plate. Manuel then came out and started arguing.
Runge bumped into Manuel before throwing him out of the game. The manager walked to the bench after getting a few more words in as the Shea Stadium crowd roared.
Beltran continued the conversation and Runge quickly threw him out. An incensed Beltran then got in Runge's face and had to be held back before Manuel came out to escort the All-Star to the dugout.
Before Wednesday's game, Manuel told reporters that he hoped Major League Baseball would not discipline Runge for the incident.
"I think, for me, just a personal apology would be enough," Manuel said, hours before he received one. "I don't hope to see anyone get suspended and all that kind of stuff."
Runge declined to talk about the incident on Wednesday, the New York Post reported.
"I can't say anything," he said, according to the report. "You guys have to talk to the commissioner's office."

Read the 6th question.
Arroyo, Bailey, Encarnacion, and Patterson, for Youk, Casey, and Masterson?
Arroyo: 4-7 6.52 in 17 starts. Masterson: 4-1 3.43 in 7 starts.
Just for kicks: Arroyo: .179/1 HR/1RBI/9K Masterson: .000/0/0/4K (5AB).
As for the rest, a Gold Glove first baseman, who can hit anywhere in the lineup, and is a fan favorite on top of that. You don't trade that for a pitcher the Sox have no interest in anymore (unless MAYBE he pitches another perfect game, but in the bigs this time), a third baseman (even if they would be sending their backup 3B off), YET ANOTHER CF (there's not enough playing time for the two there already, and another pitcher who's 0-3 in 3 starts and is averaging 2 HR and 1 K per start.
All that for a solid young arm, and both your first basemen, one of whom is your backup 3B too.

Ok you might win the first game 3-1. But there are 3 more after that.Subway Series
(I have to get excited about something...)
I predict 3-1, Mets.

Shush...
By the way. I mentioned that I would be in NYC for a few games in July. I'll be going to the July 8 Mets/Giants game and one of the Bo Sox/Yankees games over the weekend before. On the off chance any of you are going to be at any of these games let me know. I'll let you buy me a beer. And a hotdog. And probably some peanuts. Then another beer.
How thoughtful, what are we made of money.
Just an attempt at humor. Sometimes I forget I'm not funny.
Mets 6 Yankees 4 ... fun game so far. Was stoked (relieved) when Posada popped out with the bases loaded.
