Dustin Pedroia

DA: Man strikes out trying to sell Dustin Pedroia's stolen cleats, other Sox equipment online

A South Weymouth man faces charges in two states for allegedly trying to sell stolen Fenway equipment - and Dustin Pedroia's cleats - on a sports-memorabilia auction site.

Jamie Pritchard-Holland, 32, is charged in Boston Municipal Court with two counts of receiving stolen property, specifically, a 380-foot marker from center field, a home plate from the visitor's bullpen, the cleats and Kevin Youkilis's glove, all stolen in April 2010, our Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Pritchard-Holland faces separate charges in New York's Suffolk County, where he was arrested on May 5. The auction site is based there.

Innocent, etc.

A new Red Sox stat

Faced with a sub-.500 team, Beth resorts to other means to enjoy games, such as Entertainment Value Above Replacement:

As an example of this metric in action, Dustin Pedroia's epic at-bat on Monday night gave him a high EVAR, regardless of whether it led to a win.

Tonight's team EVAR leader never picked up a bat or glove -- but he did chuck some gum onto the field on his way out. Of course, I'm talking about Terry Francona, who went Full Metal Jacket on umpires Angel Hernandez and Joe West after Hernandez called a run-scoring balk on Tim Wakefield in the second inning.

The difference between Pedroia and Ellsbury

Red Sock can't figure out the difference:

... [B]oth young players had bone fractures, both returned ahead of schedule, both experienced additional pain or re-injury, and both returned to the DL. Yet the media presentation of their experiences could not be more different: we are told one is a malingering whiner allegedly hated by his teammates while the other is the very personification of a gritty gamer.

The Yamaico Navarro era begins at Fenway

Because, naturally, Dustin Pedroia is back on the DL.

UPDATE: After watching the first seven innings of tonight's game, I wonder if the Sox could use a visit from the Higginbottoms. Oh, and NESN? No more Bill O'Reilly ever again, mkay? Never mind his politics; he didn't even know who Daniel Nava was.
