That's right, 2+ months into the season and the Sox have only had a handful of days off, and all of them have either been on the road or travel days between road trips before starting a series at Fenway.
So what's a first place club full of bored ballplayers to do with a day off in their home city? Let's take a look at some of the activities they might be getting involved in today.
With a little training Coco's positive he can perfect this maneuver before the Sox next series with the Rays
-Coco Crisp is reportedly honing his diamond skills by catching a screening of "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" followed by a personal training session with Kimbo Slice.
-Kevin Youkilis is attending athlete anger management classes, which include gently slamming your bat in the rack and stealthy 'muttering under your breath' techniques.
-Manny Ramirez is getting his hair done, although no one will notice, and bragging to his buddies at the bodega how he "bitchslapped that annoying little bald fucker" in the dugout the other day.
-Justin Masterson is checking out the Commons, the Bull & Finch, Fanueil Hall, the Aquarium and Chinatown, because he's been told that's what all visitors to the Hub must do.
-J.D. Drew is looking at himself in the mirror with the Bible opened in front of him and repeating the mantra "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me" about 150 times.
-Dustin Pedroia is working hard in the batting cages, determined to get out of his wretched 5-49 skid lest someone utter the phrase "sophomore slump" around him.
-Curt Schilling is blogging about the "sweet court side seats" he scored for last night's Celtics game.
-Mike Lowell is sitting poolside with a Tommy Bahama shirt open to the navel, sipping Mojitos and basking in the glow of having movie star looks and primo athlete talent.
-Jon Lester is still responding to the 1000's of fan letters he has received from cancer survivors and other less fortunate people since his no hitter. He's only got three more sacks to go.
-Hideki Okajima and Daisuke Matsuzaka are texting Yu Darvish and bragging about how much they've been embraced by the Japanese community in town. Then they're going to see "Kung Fu Panda."
-David Aardsma, Craig Hansen, Manny Delcarmen, Mike Timlin and Javier Lopez are taking bets on who will be the next one to implode on the mound. Loser has to buy the first round at The Rack.
-Brandon Moss is sitting on the side of his hotel room bed just waiting for the phone to ring.
Sure enough it does. It's Masterson saying "they call you yet?"
Enjoy the off day, fellas!
