Red Sox report: Inside pitch

The Red Sox received a large helping of good news on the health front Friday night when both outfielder J.D. Drew and shortstop Julio Lugo proved healthy enough to crack the starting lineup before the game was rained out.

Drew's sprained left wrist was feeling good enough for the right fielder to lumber out and take some swings, and Lugo was cleared by doctors to resume baseball activities after suffering a mild concussion during the last road trip.

The rainout will be made up on Saturday as part of a rather unorthodox separate-admission doubleheader at Fenway Park that will include a 3:55 p.m. EDT game nationally televised by Fox and a second game scheduled for an 8:35 p.m. first pitch.

The second day of rest amid the rain will mean nothing but good things for a Sox team that just finished a stretch of playing 36 games in 37 days and was showing some of the telltale signs of a weary baseball bunch.

"I don't know who came up with the crazy schedule this year, man," said designated hitter David Ortiz. "But it gets to a point where you've got to listen to your body a little bit, and you know you need some rest. Right now, a day off is a good thing, and then we'll get back into it (on the homestand)."

BREWERS AT RED SOX, PPD: The game was postponed because of rain and will be played Saturday as part of a split doubleheader, with the first game set to begin at 3:55 p.m. EDT and the second at 8:35 p.m.

The Royal Rooters, that's what a should've called my thread! How silly of me! Justa nice little spot for Sox fans to b!tch and moan like most of Bostonites like to do! But be forewarned, the rules are the same, talk of anything you want, speak your mind, just no politics! (or religion)

I want the opinion of fellow Sox fans on the state of our bullpen. Let me first say that we are solid with Papelbon and Okajima, but we are horrible after that. If we don't get help soon, we are going to wear these 2 guys out. They are both on pace to throw more innings than last year and we need these guys strong if we are to do anything in the post-season.

Good morning fellow Red Sox fans!

I'd like to start a new thread simular to the one I started over on the Bruins message board this year. (The one stop, all Bruins thread). It was a huge success so I thought I'd give it a shot here too. No disrespect to the "Royal Rooters" thread. It's a great thread and is ...(more)

I was just watching sportscenter and saw a highlight where the Sox were visiting the President and he (jokingly) said ..."Manny Ramirez isn't here, I think his Grandmother passed away again" then gave his I'm so great smirk.

I can't believe that at some point his speech writers and he agreed that ...(more)

I know he played well today, but we're better with him on the bench and it seems like there is some serious thought in benching lugo.

The Red Sox were once again unable to hold an early lead, and unable to push across runs late. Some thoughts on the game:

Which of the youngsters should we trade to get a big bat in the lineup if Manny leave this year?  I simply do not see him staying after the 10 year threat of the trade.  He is going to get huge money somewhere, even though he is 36.  I would hate to lose him, but I think he will get paid more than he is worth.

(POLL)

Who would you like to see back in a Red Sox uni (of players currently playing)?

I listed a few, and I'm sure there are many others.  Pedro hasn't done much since he left.  Clement hasn't played in two years.  Damon is a F*%#in' Yankee.  Both Snachezs (Freddy & Anibal) have shown promise.&n ...(more)
