With a day off comes the chance to reflect, which is what the Red Sox press was doing in full force on Monday. The Globe's Adam Kilgore succinctly sums up the first third of the Red Sox season in today's edition: "The uneven pattern of the season's first third - one unexpected difficulty replaced by the next - made for a mostly pleasant ultimate result."
True, isn't it? This Red Sox season hasn't made a whole lot of sense thus far, but at least we're looking good despite the numerous hiccups that have come up along the way. Mike Lowell has shown us that life without Mark Teixeira can be pretty sweet indeed, the starting pitching is picking up, the bats are lively, Tek is swinging and Papi --
OK, let's leave it at that. We said hiccups. Big, hulking, now-batting-sixth hiccups that are painful to watch. We'll see if Papi gets his bat going tonight in Detroit.
In non-baseball news, Tom Brady says he never doubted the surgeon who opened up his knee last season. Despite the setbacks. Despite the concern from the Pats and every fan who owns any form of Patriots memorabilia.
Really, Tom? No doubts? Not even just a little bit? We're going to call shenanigans on that one.
