A little later than usual look at the headlines this morning as last night’s game didn’t get over until the wee hours of the morning. Obviously if you went to bed early and have already looked at the Sunday paper, you saw what happened at 1:30 AM last night. A Trot Nixon single. And then the flood gates opened up. As a Sox fan it’s hard to understand why Tito keeps going to Gagné but last night he almost had no choice since Curt Schilling didn’t have his “A” game and he owned up to it in the post game press conference last night (early this morning). The guy (Gagné) is lost in outer space right now. He looked good on the first batter (Blake), whom he struck out. Then a Sizemore single, a walk to Cabrera, next thing you know Javier Lopez is on the mound giving up to single to the Original Dirt Dog. So while you recover from last night’s loss or last night’s beer drinking, take a look at the headlines and happenings from the Boston and Cleveland area media as well Red Sox 1B Kevin Youkilis.
