Maybe Tito will read the writing on the wall and give Lowrie the shortstop's job that's rightfully his.

Wakefield v. Some Dude.

If DMats can keep his BB total down like this, he'll be dirty.

A few things....

Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff May 11, 2008 05:14 PM

Manny Ramirez is out of the lineup with sore right hamstring. Manager Terry Francona said Ramirez phoned him this morning to tell him the hamstring was hurting after he ran hard to beat out a double-play ball in the 9th.

Ramirez, who has one hit in his last 15 at-bats, was having treatment this afternoon. No word on how long he might be out.

Julio Lugo sat out a second day. Francona said the CT scan looked clean and that Lugo's eyes looked a lot clearer today. Alex Cora was starting at shortstop.

Francona said Sean Casey is with the team, but he won't be activated until tomorrow. Craig Hansen remains on the roster for at least another game.

The outfield of Ellsbury-Crisp-Drew is important for Wakefield. Cora is better than Lugo...I'd rather see Lowrie starting, but he was demoted earlier this afternoon.

Ahhhh....Miller and Morgan...where's my mute button? LOL

Nice microphone in the dug-out catching Youk's F-bomb.
