The Hurt Parade: Hideki Okajima has a stiff back. ... Victor Martinez is still unable to get his fractured left thumb into his glove. ... Jeremy Hermida will take on-field BP today.

Tony Massarotti wants you to know that no matter how well the Red Sox are playing right now, they are doomed.

The odds will catch up to them ... you cannot help but wonder when the bridge will blow up ... How much longer can this team defy logic? ... the Red Sox of today simply are not good enough ... sometime soon, [they are] bound to start beating their heads against the wall...

Note: The media is not always right when it comes to these things.
