headline on mlb.com…

“Manny makes memorable catch as sox face o’s”

Manny Ramirez tracked it down at the wall, high-fived a fan, then spun and doubled up the runner at first.

this game worries me,

Shields has a HORRIBLE record against the Yanks:

0-5, 33.1ip, 49h, 30r, 29er, 10hr, 8bb, 24k, 7.83era

even though, he starts on my fantasy team.

so, Shields for MVP…

Hammel and Glover serve as “long men” on the team, yet I think Howell is the only reliever to have multiple multiple-inning stints.

No, he played a total of 2 games in a non-catcher position in the minors. Both OF.
