Why is Papi sitting tonight...he never sits unless he's hurt...this isn't good

Jul 6 Ortiz (quad) wasn't in Friday's starting lineup, but he's fine, according to manager Terry Francona, the team’s official site reports.

Recommendation: "I think, sometimes, when you give players a place to point to [having a day off], it can help," Francona said. Manny Ramirez took over at designated hitter, with Wily Mo Pena getting the start in left field.

Agreed. Love the .300+ BA, hate the sudden lack of power. If I would've known this was coming I would've saved my auction $ and picked up Todd Helton instead.
