I agree, but unfortunately it means we'll have to wait until after the all-star break to see if he can be effective. I still expect Theo to make a move in the next couple weeks although I'm not sure if he'll target a starter or reliever.

That was a good win tonight. Nice to see the Sox take 2 out of 3 at Arlington which hasn't been too kind over the years. Its weird to see them playing this well on the road after seeing them play terribly at home that last homestand. Hopefully that was an aberration. They've struggled with the Jays and Orioles this year, let's see if they can turn it around starting tomorrow in Baltimore. They need to play better against their AL East opponents.

I hate Chan Ho Park and Kameron Loe.

The End.

Peter Gammons has now reported that Kevin Millar wants to be traded....amazing

[Misfit]

I can't say I'd be sad to see Millar go, he was a dissapointment for most of last year and has returned to his dissapointing form this year. He would be good in a platoon type of role (which they're moving towards) but he apparently is not happy with that.

Why on earth would Millar want to be traded? Is he pissed that he's a crappy 1B and Francona replaces him with Olerud? I swear Schilling, Damon and Millar have a running bet to see who can get their name in the paper the most.

Well Millar did take a big part in the second half push that the Red Sox made last year, as he was second on the team in OPS during the second half. Hopefully, he can do the same thing this year.

You and me both. Now Damon is calling for Timlin or Arroyo to be the new closer, saying Schil isn't ready and Tito is dogging the guys in the pen that were "bypassed" in the decision. My opinion of all this...there's a lot of guys in contract years and with players taking sides like this, it can't be good for the chemistry of this club. He then went on to back Millar and Bellhorn.

In a move that excites me, Manny Delcarmen was promoted to Pawtucket and pitched 2 innings of scoreless relief in his debut at McCoy. Great to see him bouncing back from arm surgery and getting closer to the show.
