Welcome to Boston, Daniel Nava

The Red Sox called up another outfielder today with Hermida going on the DL for collision with Beltre. The running count is Beltre 2, outfielders 0, if you are keeping score (Ellsbury being the other victim). This prospect was promising since he'd been doing pretty well in Pawtucket. But let's just say that Nava has out D-Macked D-Mac. He got up to the plate, on the very very first pitch of his very very first MLB game, and hit a freaking grand slam.

I like him already. Just keep him away from Beltre!

Dice-K decided moments before the game that he had an arm sprain and couldn't pitch. Atchison is in. Really. The good news is that we currently have a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the second. And it's against the Phillies. Run prevention may not be our thing, but at least run scoring is. What was the other run, you might ask? That was J.D. Drew. Heh.
