So it's not enough the Sox are looking to hire back players they got rid of, now they're signing players with the same name as players they already have (oh, and you know who the Sox got when they traded Crisp? Yep, the first Ramon Ramirez).

Sox get Ramirez

No, not him. Jeff relays the news from Kansas City, that the Sox are trading Coco Crisp (personal wah moment: Even besides his name, I always loved his batting stance) for reliever Ramon Ramirez.

Beth recaps his first ejection, along with all the hot Coco action in the outfield.

Kristen considers Matsuzaka's performance:

... Honestly, "pitching out of jams all night" should probably be Matsuzaka's middle name. So much does he love loading the bases and working full counts and walking guys that, by all reason, should have struck out, that it's a wonder to me that he's actually 15-2. Which is also why I called Lester the team's ace yesterday. It's just...even Tito thinks watching Matsuzaka pitch is frustrating. That was his word, "frustrating." Probably because you can't swear on TV. Unless you're Josh Beckett apparently. ...

If Jerry Remy ever quits

They could hire this guy. Needs a better cameraman, though.

Curt Schilling high-fives Josh Beckett:

... After game 4 it got very easy in the sense that there was zero gray area, it was win or go home. That's not to make it sound trivial but game 5 was truly the first time this entire season when we had our backs to the wall for real, and the team responded as a championship team has to, and will. ...

Pauline: We're going to the world series baby!!!! Bring on the Christians.

Philip McCarthy predicts a Sox victory over Colorado, but worries about the high altitude there:

Yeah, they lost, but ...

Kristen takes Josh Beckett aside:

... I don't know if they taught you this in pitching school, but if you're gonna give up a grand slam in addition to two other home runs, you're probably not going to win the game. Just a refresher. I'm just sayin', maybe in the future, LESS time snorting MetRx protein powder off BU undergrads, MORE time working with the catchers on scouting reports. ...

On the plus side, she says All Your Javy Lopez Are Belong to Us.

Ben Ostrander took in last night's game, where he witnessed a serious case of Coco Crisp mancrush:

... Every minute or so that Coco was in the outfield he yelled, "I love you Coco!" Or "Coco you're the best!" When a ball landed for a hit and was no where near the centerfielder, the guy reassured him that everything was okay by yelling, "It's okay, Coco, it's not your fault!" Long story short, everyone now knows he has a man crush on Coco Crisp and I think that Crisp himself knows because he looked a little irritated. ...

Beth recaps last night's game from her seat in Loge Box 150:

... Already juiced by Coco's dazzling catch just moments earlier, "Sweet Caroline" rousingly sung and the Papi blast, the crowd went so completely wild as the first chords of Jonathan's entrance music sounded that I wondered seriously if we might ever just shake that old place down. It took him just a handful of pitches to retire the Mets, and I was there, goddammit, watching every one, screaming my fool head off, happy just to be alive.

Red watched the game at home and had A Moment after Crisp's catch:

... And it's one of those moments that you catch yourself smiling and you're not even sure why you were smiling but you realize you so caught up in this Red Sox team that you never want this season, this game, this moment to end. It was like the grand consummation of my relationship with the 2006 team. Now we can meet each other's parents, start looking at houses and speak freely about how much Rudy Seanez needs to be choloroformed. ...

Michael on Dowbrigade: It used to be that breakfast cereal Wheaties featured famous ballplayers on its boxes:

Now, the Boston Red Sox are featuring breakfast cereals on the field. They can Trot out quite a variety of crunchy treats, even after losing Fruit Loops to the Yankees.
