Giambi Takes Papelbon Deep, Walks Off

Is it gas -- or the thought of facing a former Yankee
that makes Paps scowl like he smelled something stanky?
What do you call a closer who gives up dingers galore?
"The key to our bullpen," says the Nation with a roar.

Love that Papelbon, doncha RS Nation?
Why not stick him into the rotation?
So fun to see ol' Jason take him deep.
Into his clam chowdah, watch Tito weep.

You need a closer like Donovan, Landon's the man.
Time's expired, he's still doing everything he can.
Paps winces and scowls and throws the heat --
Every Yankee (current and ex-) knows he can be beat.

Is there a doctor in the house?

What's with the Sawx doctors, can't even tell good fibs--
Jacoby's got a bruise, no, that's 2 orders of broken ribs.
Cranky Josh pinched a nerve, no, he wrenched his back.
Dice-K not really on the DL, his arm's just out of whack.

Bean-town's got med schools galore --
Can't John Henry buy a med student who knows the score?
Make a proper diagnosis, treat the patient well --
A random shot in the neck for Scutaro's back, what the hell?

The only healthy guys are the ones in AARP --
Papi, Tek and Lowell, doncha see?
Pede's not hitting, Beltre not fielding
Next up on the DL? Theo should be reeling.

Dinged up but getting it done,
Derek

Sox' Painful Loss to Indians 6/10



That was painful, I must say
Young Josh Bard threw the game away.
Beltre's heroic dinger couldn't get it done
(But for once into another player he didn't run.)

It's a long season, many games to go --
Sox hope most are at home, without Injuns or O's.
Pap's bereavement? He's mourning the death of Papi's bat.
Watch the Sox play? Think I'd rather eat my Yankee cap!

We lost to the O's tonight, tho it's been awhile.
Seeing youz flop, by the way, made Minka smile.

Indians Blank O's

Oh, boy, that sure was fun!
11-0 (!) shutout by the Indians and Justin Masterson...
Sox might like him back, what do you say?
Perhaps trade (or give?) Dice-K and Wake away?

Why is Tito pitching Nelson and Boof? What about Hall?
Does John Henry demand relief work for all?
Did Papi whiff twice and go 0 for 3?
Feels like April again, eh, whoopee!

We're working on your nemesis, the O's, tonight
They're barely putting up a fight.

Later,
Derek
