Off-Day Blog: The Red Sox Personality Parade

Part of what makes the Red Sox so enjoyable to watch is the different personalities on the team:

The Gritty, Intense Dirt Dogs: Youk, Pedey
The Clubhouse Leaders and Communicators: Tek, Mikey L.
The Entertainers: Manny, Paps, Casey and sometimes Coco
The "Aw, shucks!" guys: Jon Lester, JD Drew
The Fiery Ace: Beckett
The Perfectionist on the Mound: Dice-K
The Rookie Heartthrob: Jake
The Great Big Teddy Bear: Big Papi
The Whiz Kid: Masterson
The Underdog: Lugo
The Seasoned Veterans: Wake, Schill, Timlin

As for the rest of the team, it's not like they don't HAVE a personality, it's just that they're a little harder to pin down. After all, besides Paps, you don't hear a lot of interviews with the bullpen guys.

Tomorrow night, the Sox are back in Boston, with Wake on the mound to face the Cards. Will they don the green jerseys to honor the new NBA Champ C's? We shall see!

LET'S GO RED SOX!!!
