Papelbon is doing well, too. Good to have some quality closers.

Coco fractured his left index finger trying to steal third and is out for likely a full month.

That sucks. Thankfully, Adam Stern played well yesterday. I hope he can continue to surprise.

Red Sox medical director Dr. Thomas Gill this afternoon issued the following statement regarding the condition of outfielder Coco Crisp:

“Coco has a non-displaced fracture at the base of his left index finger. He will be placed in a splint for 10 days and reevaluated at that time. Once sufficient healing has occurred, Coco can begin batting and return to baseball activities. No surgery is indicated at this time.”
....
Crisp, who left Camden Yards without a cast or wrapping on his hand last night, also said he could have played yesterday.

6-1.

Beckett with another lights-out performance, Papelbon with another save.

How 'bout Wily Mo. LOL

Manny & Wily in the same outfield? Every flyball in Boston will be an adventure this year.

I LOVE it when these guys make me look smart. :p

As you may notice from the standings, Boston is doing just fine.

Breaking news from Boston.com:

Johnny Damon won't be the only player making his return to Fenway tonight. According to a major league source, the Red Sox have re-acquired Doug Mirabelli from the Padres in exchange for catcher Josh Bard, minor-league pitcher Cla Meredith, and cash (in the six-figure range). The Yankees were also trying to acquire Mirabelli.

Bard - Wakefield's 'personal' catcher since Mirabelli left - leads the majors in passed balls. The Yankees made a move for Mirabelli just so the Sox couldn't get him back.
