BOS 6, DET 3: Bay’s way

It's not how you start. It's how you finish.

6/4: Sneaky midweek game day

Sorry for the late game thread ;)

Five shortstops Red Sox could pursue

As Nick Green and Julio Lugo team up in an attempt to break the record for most errors out of shortstop (and we thought Edgar Renteria was bad), it's time to start looking at outside options.

Green has been a great fill-in with the bat after no one expected him to even get a single at-bat on the year. On defense, however, his lead glove is starting to raise concerns. And Julio Lugo, of course, is Julio Lugo. We'll get to our internal option, Jed Lowrie, in a moment. But for now, let's focus on five shortstops the Sox could go after.

BOS 10, DET 5: Almost

Josh Beckett didn't need the early run support. He didn't allow a hit until the seventh inning.
