Barry Bonds went yard. He hit the ball so hard it couldn't be weighed down by the hype.

Michael Barrett decked A.J. Pierzynski after he was bowled over at the plate. Barrett has to expect that on a close play at the plate, but apparantly he took issue with what happened after the initial collision. Either way, a beatdown ensued.

Pujols won't stop. He has 21. Can he give Bonds' 73 mark a run?

Josh Beckett went yard, drove in 2, and gave the credit to a lucky swing.

Abe Alvarez was recalled from Pawtucket and will releive DiNardo's start today.

There are talks of Cesar Izturis becoming a trade possibility at SS.

David Wells finally pitched a simulated game and will be embarking on a minor-league rehab stint.

J.T. Snow wants out of Boston, with Youkilis performing well and getting all the action at 1B.

Former Red Sox SS Hanley Ramirez will be returning to the lineup in Florida after a minor injury, where he has torn up the NL this year.
