Changes are afoot

The Red Sox have DFA'd Abraham Toro. No word on if he opted to go to Worcester or if he opted for free agency. They have also put Willyer Abreu on the 10-day IL because of calf tightness.

They have called David Hamilton & Richard Fitts back up and in a surprise move, they have called up Jhostynxon Garcia, aka "The Password".

My guess is that Fitts will step into the bullpen to become a long relief guy who is good at what he does. I'm assuming that Hamilton will give relief to Rafaela at 2nd base because Rafaela is a hell of a hitter when he plays the outfield but when he's at 2nd, his hitting kinda sucks.

As for Garcia, I'm thinking they are seeing what he has been doing in Worcester (crushing home runs) and they feel like he will be successful in the majors.

No matter what happens with the call-ups, the Red Sox need to get their shit together. They have fallen 1½ games behind the Judges.

Tonight's game starts at 7:15 but since it's on FOX, it will probably start at 7:30. Giolito has the start and I'm hoping he gives the Judges fits. If he can keep their bats quiet, hopefully the Red Sox can hit the ball and move the runners along.


I finally got around to mowing my lawn today. It's been at least a 10 days since I mowed it and with the sprinkler system, it showed.

Normally, I empty the collection bags once for the back, twice for the side and twice for the front. Today I had to empty the collection bags twice for the rear, three times for the side and four times for the front.

That's a lot of grass.

So anyways, other than the weeds poking out all over the place, it looks pretty good.


The Patriots final pre-season game is this evening and I don't think any of the first line players will play. At least I hope they don't play. The last thing they need two weeks before the start of the season is an injury to Maye or Henry or Diggs or any of the firt line.

Since the game is being streamed on Prime, which I have, I might watch some of it. Unless the Red Sox are kicking the Judges ass. In that case I'll just watch baseball.

Anyways, the kickoff is at 8:00.
