I notice that Andrew Benintendi was out of the lineup again today. That worries me. Is he hurt? Is the front office holding off telling the fans he might be injured? So typical of the Sox---as if that news could stay secret very long around the league grapevine. I'd like to know. Is Benny ready to play on Tuesday because we need his bat and speed and defense.

The Sox are 16-4 for their last 20 games. That's a stunning .800 average.

Another day, another W.

Brasier deserves a special mention for that key strikeout. And Sale? Well, shoulder inflammation doesn't seem to have slowed him a bit.

He was sore for some reason, not sure if it's just late season tiredness or what, but I think he played both games the day before too. No problem giving him a day off, remember gang, they've won 10 of their last 11.

They just find ways to win games.

Fred: Xander Bogaerts jammed his left pinky sliding into third base in Boston's Game 2 win over Baltimore on Saturday night. X-rays taken after the game were negative, manager Alex Cora said, but the shortstop sat in Sunday's series finale to get extended rest with an off-day on Monday.

Andrew Benintendi also got the day off on Sunday -- his second game in a row -- as Cora described his legs as a little heavy following the midweek series on Toronto's turf field. Benintendi pinch-hit in Game 2 on Saturday, but he struck out to snap a 10-game hitting streak.

Like Bogaerts, Benintendi is not expected to miss more time; rather, Cora said he wanted the left fielder out about two and a half days, without starting Saturday night or Sunday, plus the Monday off-day.

By the way, has anyone heard from OJ (Rick)? I haven't seen him on this board in quite a while. We're already missing Rob and no word from him either. Someone out there know where these two friends of ours are?

Rick and his wife left for Canada on Sunday.

He is around on Facebook, not sure why he hasn't posted in a while.
