All-Stars announced....

It seems that some of the RedSox great play hasn't gone unnoticed. The suprise for me was Loretta getting the nod at Second, though he certainly deserves it. I do find it a little amusing that Ortiz was voted in at first, it goes to show the respect the guy has earned. Papelbon and Manny were slam dunks in my opinion. Yet, how does Lowell not get selected by his peers? A-Fraud was a shoe in for third from a fans perspective, even though Lowell is by far the better all around third baseman, well on his way to another gold glove. Not to mention his batting average is higher than A-Fraud and he's leading the league in Doubles right now, how does he get passed over? What does this guy need to do to get some respect. I guess he's not enough of a media whore.

As for the Sox in general, Tavarez is as scary as ever, but the Sox roll on inspite of him. I think they finished up this round of interleague play 16 and 2, winning 14 of their last 15. Winning 2 of those with small ball tactics. Poor a Sammy, here's to hoping the good play continues.

I didn't realize you'd posted or I would've written mine differently, but you filled in the obvious gap I left by not addressing Lowell.
Believe it or not, no Sammies in the fridge right now. Will you settle for a Shipyard IPA?

They've just come out with a patriot specialty pack. It's four different flavors based on recipes used by the founding fathers, but not even Jokah's in Wtvl has it.
