There were cheers, and then there were boos. The cheers came as manager Terry Francona bounded from the dugout to remove starter Daisuke Matsuzaka. The boos were for Matsuzaka, who frustrated the fans and failed to help the Red Sox gain ground against their closest competition.

The wooden temporary lockers have multiplied in the clubhouse, bringing with them fresh rookies to fill an already over-filled room. Usually, that signals the drive for the postseason in Boston.

When Lars Anderson called his parents Sunday night, neither was anywhere near a cellphone. His mother was at a picnic, his father at a softball game.

It was a gorgeous summer day and night at Fenway, the wind blowing out, a captive crowd that had some pent-up emotion with Manny Ramirez in town. The Red Sox ran into a couple of good pitching performances from John Danks and Gavin Floyd, but their offense was nonexistent. They had just two extra-base hits and scored but two runs ...

Nobody had thrown water on Jarrod Saltalamacchia (the way Pete Carroll did with Bruce Armstrong so it would appear that Armstrong passed the conditioning test), though that’s how it looked. This was sweat. Real sweat.
