No Japan for Tito

Looks like Terry Francona won't be making the trip to Japan after all - a foot infection has forced him to give up the role of All-Star team manager. That's a strange ailment.

Game 3 tonight between the Tigers and Cardinals in St. Louis. Chris Carpenter pitches for the Cards, so it won't be easy for Detroit. But don't worry, they'll still win.

As much as I hate the offseason, I kind of can't wait for baseball to be over. Then we'll start to get more Red Sox news, and hopefully have something to be excited about.
