Pregame News, Notes -- May 6 »
May 6, 2008
In preparation for his rehab assignment in Pawtucket, which will begin Wednesday night, Alex Cora went through a workout early today at Comerica Park.
The reason for his early workout was that he had secured some tickets for tonight's Celts-Cavaliers playoff game in Boston.
Manager Terry Francona was not the least bit upset that Cora flew home early today and was not with the club for tonight's game against the Tigers. In fact, Francona, a big fan of the Celtics and coach Doc Rivers, said he encouraged the utility infielder to go.
"I told him he was crazy not to take off (early)," said Francona with a smile this afternoon. "He goes with my blessing. The only thing I'm mad about is I'm not with him (at the game)."
