Like I said...with the whole lineup hitting the way they are, things are just going to happen. I love watching Pedroia hit homeruns, at 5'8" and 160 lbs he makes me feel like I could play ball!
Just need to keep the team hitting as a whole and everything else will fall into place...my god, even "Judy" Drew and Teck are hitting, can things really get any better? Okay, maybe Lugo could get a hit or two, but this is the team that was on fire at the beginning of the season, but with even more ability and passion to hit.

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts, because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.
Papi on 1st is always an adventure. Depends on Shill tonight. I think having Dice-K win game 7 was big for his confidence, so maybe we'll get a win out of him out there. But Coors is a mile high so it'll be interesting, even with the balls in the humidor. Who's going to start instead of Wake?
Bring a GPS...its awkward when you have to eat your buddies
Would you sit Youk instead of Papi? It'll be interesting to watch Manny try to get on a horse in left; acres of open space out there and no Monster to back him up.

Call me crazy, but I would sit Papi...for one, right now the whole team is hitting, singles, doubles, walks and with the team hitting like that I'd rather see our normal firstbaseman (Youk) playing. I don't think it's worth the sacrifice defensively with the Pedroia/Youk combo going on. Point number two...his knees are wrecked and he's said himself he can't wait for the season to be over to get the surgery done...give the guy a break for a few games. The last thing he needs to be doing is running around defensively with the bad knees.
