Jason Varitek is mashing

But the power. Oh, the power. Where did it come from? A .541 Slugging %? Seriously?
This was a guy that slugged only .350 last season. And that is basically “Julio Lugo on the Red Sox” territory. The power is a fluke. As Tek isn’t going to continue hitting the ball out of the park this often. But a little improvement in the power department. Now that is something I might be able to buy.
And Tek did have some off the field concerns wearing on his mind last season. So don’t discount what those can do to one’s performance.

TOR 5, BOS 3: Crash landing

Rocco Baldelli hit a two-run homer in the second inning. Then, in the the fifth inning, Baldelli crashed into a wall trying to catch a foul ball.
That’s exactly how Boston’s game went as well. The Red Sox were on pace for a win with a 3-1 cushion over Toronto. Then, Ramon Ramirez hit a wall in the seventh inning.
