TODAY IN RED SOX HISTORY - JULY 3RD
1918: After quitting the team yesterday, Babe Ruth announces that he has joined the “Chester” team of the Delaware River Shipbuilding League. The front office threatens injunction, meanwhile Heinie Wagner tracks down Ruth in Baltimore and convinces him to return to the team. With out Ruth in the lineup Boston loses to the A’s 6-0.

1943: In the nightcap Leon Culberson hits for the cycle to lead the Hubmen to a 12-4 win over the Indians. Culberson is the forth American League rookie and the third Red Sox rookie to hit for the cycle. It is also the first time a player has hit for the cycle in a night game.

1959: Before today’s game Manager Pinky Higgins is fired, Coach Rudy York is the interim manager for today’s 6-1 loss to the Orioles.

1978: Capt. Carl hits a RBI double in the third inning for his 2,800th career hit. Yaz add two more singles in the Red Sox 12 hit, 9-5 win over the Yankees.

2001: The Paw Sox Izzy Alcantara’s reaction to an inside pitch was played in sports highlight show word wide, and forever lives on youtube, prior to his charging the mound Alcantara, consults “The Way of the Fist” and karate kick catcher Jeremy Salazer squarely in the chest. His Cobra Kai antics lead to a seven game suspension and being dropped from the International League All Star game. He will be called up to Boston’s main roster on September 1st.
RED SOX NEWS, RUMORS AND UPDATES
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009:
Lowell placed on DL
The Red Sox placed Mike Lowell on the 15-day disabled list with a right hip strain (retroactive to June 28). The Red Sox are recalling Jeff Bailey from Pawtucket and inserting him into tonight's lineup.

Monday, June 29th, 2009:
On the same day the Red Sox announced that Mike Lowell will be heading back to Boston to get an injection of Synvisc for his sore hip, it was announced that outfielder Jonathan Van Every will be done for the season after his injured left knee was found to be more damaged than expected. In other injury news, shortstop Jed Lowrie had to be pulled from the Pawtucket Sox game in the 5th inning due to soreness in his left knee, the same knee that was hit by a pitch last Tuesday. Lowrie is in the middlet of his rehab assignment, which began last week after he returned to the diamond after having wrist surgery in April.

Sunday, June 21st, 2009:
Terry Francona today announced that RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka has been placed on the 15 day disabled list. He hinted that it could take months for the struggling right hander to recover. Francona also said "It's not going to be a two-week DL thing," Dice K had an MRI done yesterday that showed " a little bit of weakness in his shoulder," but there is no structural damage. Matsuzaka will be sent to the Red Sox spring training complex in Florida when he begins his rehab. There is no timetable for his return

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009:

John Smoltz today that his first start in a Red Sox uniform will come next week on Tuesday or Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. Smoltz made the announcement during an interview on the Dan Patrick radio show this morning, saying that he couldn’t pinpoint the exact date but it would be either of those two days. He also indicated that he would pitch one last minor league rehab outing.

Friday, June 12th, 2009:

According to report this morning by Maureen Mullen of the Lynn Daily Item, Papelbon was fined $1,000 by the league earlier this week for violating pace-of-game guidelines. His infractions have come while he is entering the game. A source told Mullen that the time from the third out of one half-inning to the first pitch of the next half-inning is supposed to be 2 minutes 5 seconds for local TV games, 2:25 for national TV weeknight games, and 2:30 for TV games on the weekend. According to Mullen's report, it took Papelbon 3:34 between the final out in the bottom of the eighth and the first pitch in the top of the ninth Wednesday night.

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009:

boston.com reports that Jacoby Ellsbury has a strained AC joint in his right shouldertthat he injured in yesterdays game and has no structural damage. He is out of tonight's series opener against the New York Yankees. Mark Kotsay gets the start in centerfield.

Today Terry Francona said that Jed Lowrie is getting closer to making his return. He went on to say that the Sox will wait until after the Yankees/Sox series to re-evaluate him and determine his rehab assignment.

Friday, June 5th, 2009:

According to a report by ESPN's Buster Olney this afternoon, the Atlanta Braves are one of the teams "in the conversation" with the Red Sox to acquire righthanded pitcher Brad Penny.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009:
With Tonight's win, Matsuzaka finally picks up his first win of the 2009 season. Terry Francona notched his 500th win with the Red Sox.

1B/OF Mark Kotsay has been re-activated from the disabled list and the Sox send Jeff Bailey back to Pawtucket.


Monday, June 1st, 2009:
An update on Red Sox Nation's President and NESN's color commentator, Jerry Remy. Remy has been on a leave of absence since early May recovering from side effects of lung cancer surgery he underwent last fall. His update has been released on boston.com here is the opening statement of the transcript.

"Hi, this is Jerry. I just want to thank everybody for the overwhelming support I've got from you over the last couple of weeks. I've got a much larger family than I ever anticipated. Hope to be in the booth very soon."

Sunday, May 31st, 2009:
Terry Francona makes some bold changes to the line up for today's game in the final game against the Jays in the 3 games series. Francona takes Ellsbury from the lead off position and moves him to the 8th spot. Pedroia will be leading off. This is what Tito had to say with why he made the bold changes for todays game and the stats were found on boston.com

Ellsbury, depsite a recent 22-game hitting streak, ranks 23d among major league leadoff hitters with a .332 on-base percentage. Ellsbury has 10 walks in 221 plate appearances this season. Against the lefties, which the Red Sox are facing today in Toronto starter Ricky Romero, Ellsbury has a .268 on-base percentage.

Pedroia's .419 on-base percentage ranks ties him for 13th among all players in the majors. Pedroia has 28 walks in 217 plate appearances. Ellsbury, Francona said, may also be able to be more

"You know what, we're facing a lefty," Francona said. "We're trying to use some of these guys' on-base skills [while] at the same time protecting some other guys. And then maybe we can use other guys' legs maybe more aggressively than we do at the top. It seems to make sense today. Now, we've got a day off tomorrow.

Thursday, May 28th, 2009:
Jacoby Ellsbury's 22 game hit streak comes to an end as he goes 0-3 in today's final game of the series against the Twins.
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009:
David Oritz is moved into the 6 spot in todays starting line up.

Jacoby Ellsbury extends his hitting streak to 21 straight games in the 1st inning of tonights game.

John Smoltz threw 60 pitches today in a rehab start with the Portland Seadogs here in the Granite state today in Manchester. Smoltz threw 36 of his 60 pitches for strikes.  He gave up 1 earned run on 3 hits in 3 1/3 innings pitched. His velocity showed on the radar at MerchantAuto.com stadium to be between 90-92 about 5 mph lower than his average speed.
