I have some time here so I figured I’d check in and see what’s going on. Last night’s game got over wicked late on the East Coast and the end result was a 12-6 Sox win. Jonathan Papelbon had one of those rare nights where he blows a save but the troops rallied behind him to get the win. Lester pitched well again and now the Red Sox will have some interesting decisions to make as to who goes when Curt Schilling gets back from his rehab starts. I think it will be Gabbard but you never know what Theo and crew will do. It will be interesting nonetheless. With that being said, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston and Tampa area papers on this Sunday morning.
