JD!
I have to admit, I haven't always been JD Drew's biggest supporter. I've never been a JD-basher, but I just haven't embraced him and cheered for him. I know he had a lot of things going on last year - adjusting to a new league, a sick child - but I did question Theo's judgement a few times.But JD has really stepped up his performance level - which we desperately need with David Oritz out of the lineup. Today, Drew hit his 8th HR - and he's been an offense machine this weekend.
And his defense --

So maybe, maybe, we might make it through all these DL stints by our star-starters.
As for Cincinnati, I've been trying to figure out the pitching matchups. It looks to me like it'll be:
Friday - Harang v. Wakefield
Saturday - Volquez v. Masterson
Sunday - Bailey v. Beckett

Beth, I hate to think where we'd sit right now if JD hadn't stepped up when Papi got hurt. Every year it's a guy you don't expect; Scenic last year when Manny missed some time, JD this year.
if Bailey pitches vs Beckett...its Two Texas Boys dueling
Masterson pitched well enough to win, shame Harang pitched better than he has for ages.
Hope you lot had a great time. Timmeh tomorrow, at breakfast time for me.
