The White Sox swept the Red Sox and finally put the Boston squad out of its misery for 2010. As the Globe says, just look at Terry Francona's lineup against Tampa Bay: Daniel Nava, Ryan Kalish, Yamaico Navarro, and Lars Anderson are all starting. As for Jonathan Papelbon, well, he's had better nights.

Just in time to prepare for Sunday's NFL opener for the Pats. Bill Belichick is only worried about the players in front of him, so don't expect any Logan Mankins sound bites from him.

Bill Lee, yes that one, is still pitching. At 63, Lee won a game for the Brockton Rox on Sunday in the Can-Am League against the Worcester Tornadoes. Former Red Sox catcher Rich Gedman manages the Worcester club.
Brockton beat the Tornadoes, 7-3. Lee, who last started a professional game in 1982 for the Montreal Expos, allowed just two runs and five hits in 5.1 innings. Lee's last season in Boston in 1978. Can he close games, too?
