Four possible explanations, in convenient graphical format.

Dirty Water: Send Billy Dunn on the road with the Sox.

Riggs: Send those Dunkin' Donuts commercials to oblivion.

Rob: Send Lowrie to Pawtucket so he can get seasoned to replace Lugo in 2009.

Red: Send Amalie and Heidi up to see me sometime.

The Boston Blogger has the bestest stupidest Matsuzaka post of the day.

Marty Lieberman, meanwhile, says goodbye to Gabe Kapler:

... The guy gave his all on and off the field. I'll miss watching him at Fenway, but I know the traits I respect about Gabe will make him a great manager. I'm hoping that he will rise up the ranks and return to Yawkey Way one day soon as a Sox coach or as the manager.

And Lewis Forman is embarrassed for the way Gerry Callahan treated Julio Lugo in an interview:

... Red Sox officials should permanently provide ZERO Red Sox players or management for interviews on the Dennis and Callahan show. The best they should get is the guy who cleans the bathrooms after a long doubleheader. It would go with Callahan's idiotic and shitty rants.
