Did you notice Giambi's excellant feilding the first game? lol, good thing he juices otherwise he'd be a terrible hitter too!

Don't know if you saw this in today's Globe, but I ain't worried about Papelbon blowing the lead. This is what he did yesterday morning-very classy
Telling it like it was
When Jonathan Papelbon woke up yesterday morning after blowing the game for the Red Sox against the Yankees, he hit the snooze button once. Then twice. And a third time.
Normally, the reliever would sleep in. But Papelbon made a commitment to attend a clinic with a bunch of young kids from Boston, and he kept his promise before the team's 10-1 win.
"It was tough getting up and getting out of bed," he admitted. "But I promised those kids. It's kind of funny. They were all in bed by the time I pitched [Friday night], so they started asking me all sorts of questions.
"They were saying, 'Hey, I saw we lost the game. What happened?' So I had to tell 'em, 'While you were all sleeping nice and tight in your beds, I went out and lost the game for us.' "
Papelbon said his students were wide-eyed as he relayed the gory details of his performance.
"But then I told them, 'Good teams pick each other up after a game like this,' " said Papelbon, who didn't pitch yesterday. "And that's what we ended up doing."
