Dueling Solos »
August 26, 2007
This is game No. 131 and I don't think it's an exaggeration to suggest that this may be the nicest day of the season. Perfect weather -- about 80 -- with blue skies and a nice breeeze. Hard to believe that this is the same city so hard by storms only three days ago and that tens of thousands of people in the Chicago-area are still without power.
Manny Ramirez has been given the day off by Terry Francona -- his second in the last five days. Francona suggested that Ramirez' back has been bothering him some, but added that the prospect of two days off in a row -- tomorrow is an off-day on the schedule -- was also a factor.
