Varitek: Don't boo Drew - NewburyportNews.com, Newburyport, MA
"I wish the fans understood how much power they have," said Varitek. "They can help J.D. Drew. They really can."

The irony, said Varitek, is that by booing Drew, who has been mired in a season-long slump, the Red Sox chances of winning drops.

"I don't know if people understand this. J.D. Drew is not going anywhere. He's not only our right fielder now, but he's going to be here awhile," said Varitek. "If people can accept that fact, then maybe they might think differently."
...
Drew, as was advertised over the winter, has a way of looking disinterested in winning, or losing for that matter. He just doesn't look like he cares.

"He's not the kind of guy that throws his bat," said Varitek, who is not in that "Kevin Youkilis" category either. "Is his hat going to be as dirty as Trot's (Nixon) was? No. But that doesn't mean he doesn't care. And that doesn't mean he isn't good."
..
Varitek swears Drew is not as bad a player as it seems. Obviously, he said, something is not right.
...
"But you look at his swing. It's a great swing," said Varitek. "And he's a good outfielder. He has good speed. He's a good player. Is he having the year a lot of people hoped? No. But he can still help us. In fact, I really believe we are going to need him."
...
"Why not give him a standing ovation when he comes to plate," said Varitek. "They did it for Julio Lugo and it helped. It really did. The energy the fans give you can carry a team. Trust me, I know. I can feel it. But the fans can also make you want to get under a rock."
...
"He had some good at-bats, which is really what I look at instead of hits or batting average," said Varitek. "That will be forgotten by tonight, though, because it's J.D. Drew. And that's not right."
...
"I don't understand why fans don't understand that," said Varitek. "We need J.D. to hit. It's tough, though, to do in this climate. I really wish the fans would give him a boost. He needs it. And we do, too."

All right Red Sox fans.

I will be in Boston on 2 and 3 October. I have a ticket lined up for one of those games - assuming the GD lay down and die Sox are the Division Champ. There is a good chance that game will even be with the Tribe - assuming there is such a game on those dates.

I had already conceded the Yankees would make the playoffs, but Division champs?

So call who you gotta call and do what you gotta do. Let's get this turned around.
