Speaking of new acquisitions, apparently you can add Kerry Wood to the list of those who have gone to the Yankees along with Berkman and Kearns. We're sending down Hermida and bringing up Richardson and OF Kalish, so the lineup given below is going to shift. Abraham thinks it's possible these moves indicate some kind of trade happening for the Sox, but it may just be that "these are our deadline acquisitions -- from the minors and eventually from the DL!"
If nothing happens today for the Sox, deals can still be done in August. No reason to panic. No reason to panic if we don't make the postseason either. But I'd much rather play into October -- wouldn't you?

Johnny Damon absent from the lineup again.
RamRam traded to SFG.
Win this fucker.
Is this the point at which we start rooting for the Yankees to falter?
Was there ever a time when we did not do this?
Fuck a doodle doo
Yargh hrrrm bah.
Saltalamacchia to the Sox. Seems like we didn't give much up for him.
SF gets our old LOOGY friend Javier Lopez from the Pirates. His WHIP (1.47) doesn't match his ERA (2.79), but what's new? They needed a LHP in the bullpen. Last night as I watched them nearly give away a 6-2 lead, they brought starter Jonathan Sanchez in to pitch in the ninth.
Wood and Berkman - interesting. Seems the Yankees are loading up.
Still, I'm not that worried about us sitting pat. I really think we can make a serious run at the playoffs and even the division with what we have if we can just get healthy. I'm hoping that the lack of moves means the training staff is saying that's gonna happen soon.
Any reason given for Damon being out again?
BIG PAPI DIRTY WALKOFF WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
