Sorry it's been a while -- more original content will be posted soon. As the Red Sox are quickly approaching the season's midway point, here is a small sampling of what others are writing about them:
--Finally, someone is willing to admit that the Daisuke Matsuzaka signing is looking more and more disastrous by the start. Fortunately, he won't be making any more of them anytime soon.
--David Ortiz has five home runs since June 5th and is hitting .308 with a slugging percentage of .654 for the month. Many signs are pointing towards this version of Big Papi being closer to the one we can expect to see for the rest of the season.
--Red Sox Nation travels as well as any fan base in professional sports, particularly to parks in smaller markets where the hoards of Boston fans can outnumber the home fans. Expect this to happen in Washington during the next three games.
Mike Lowell returns to the lineup tonight, and John Smoltz makes his season debut on Thursday. So, even though this series is against the lowly Nationals, there are some interesting storylines to follow.
