I know what you’re thinking. Another crappy outing by Julian Tavarez. I’ll bet you’re wishing Jon Lester was pitching in Boston instead of Pawtucket. Well I am sure that you and millions of others in Red Sox Nation are thinking the same thing as Yo-Yo’s crapalicious outing last night. I am not sure he really had any good innings because he threw a lot of pitches in his 4+ innings of work. Then after legging out a double, J.D. Drew has to leave the game at the end of the inning with hamstring tightness. Ahh the mysterious powers of Friday the 13th. To top it off, Brendan Donnelly had to be scratched from his rehab appearance with forearm tightness. All these happenings have me thinking back to last year when the Sox had a lead in the division, although it’s quite larger this season. Are we going to be disappointed again this season? I don’t think so. Or at least I hope not. Anyways I am sure you don’t want to hear me rambling on and on, so let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston area and Toronto media on this beautiful Saturday morning here in Red Sox Nation.
