SOX RETURN FROM 3-3 ROAD TRIP
Not a terrible road trip and we've all seen worse west coast swings. However, we really should have swept Seattle, one of the worst teams in baseball. This team has done just enough to stay in the race but not enough to give them some security or get them back in the divisional race. This homestand will be huge cuz they have a 12 game, 4 city road trip against teams that aren't pushovers.

The Man of the Game is Ichiro who went 4 for 5, walked, and stole 4 bases. He had the quinisential leadoff day. He got on base consistently and got into scoring position. Unfortunately for him, he was only able to come around and score once.

GUESS WHOSE COMING TO BOSTON
None other than class act and all around nice guy Karim Garcia. He was recently acquired by Baltimore and played last night. Pedro Martinez pitches tonight and it should be interesting to see what happens if Garcia plays.

I found a truly funny cartoon about Pedro. http://www.geocities.com/munkycharmzishot/pedro.jpg

Pokey Reese might go on the DL with a bruised thumb. I think if he can't play by Thursday's doubleheader, they gotta DL him and bring up a shortstop so Nomar doesn't have to play 18 innings in a game.

THE 99 RED SOX, WHERE ARE THEY NOW PART 1: DAN DUQUETTE
For all the shit Duquette has gotten for poor moves and sheer cold bloodedness, he did make some good moves. He drafted Nomar, and traded for Pedro, Varitek, and Lowe. So what is he up to now? Well, he is currently involved in the Dan Duquette Sports Academy (http://www.danduquettesports.com/) which includes programs for kids who want to play baseball, softball, football, and basketball. The facility is out in The Berkshires. He also was in the play "Damn Yankees."

The Bruins signed Sergei Samsonov to a one year deal and no-one care cuz the NHL is on vacation for awhile.
