And the good news is---

Manny hit #498 last night.  The way he has been hitting he may hit the big 500 at home in Fenway Park this weekend.  I know some people with tickets that are really looking forward to that.

Now the bad news, well first of all the Sox lost again last night.  I didn't stay up to see the entire game.  That's probably a good thing. And the Red Sox have designated Julian Tavarez for assignment. I am well aware that Julian was not the best pitcher we have seen play for the sox, but he has one of the best hearts.  He loves the game and just wants to play.  He is also a good teammate and I think he will be missed.  Best of everything to you Julian, and I pray someone picks you up.  If not, PawSox isn't so bad.
