Ellsbury, Red Sox split squad beat Cardinals 8-7

For those that don’t know I am a huge Red Sox fan.  And while this is a photo blog, I would like to use the forum to delve into some other areas that interest me.  I will leave the politics and the views on Charlie Sheen at the door, but the Red Sox and their relationship to the rest of Major League Baseball and in particular the New York Yankees is a prime candidate of further discussion.

Which brings me to the point.  I placed a bet with an over zealous Yankee fan that Jacoby Ellsbury will never play another regular season game with the Boston Red Sox.  This was based on my general feeling of his relationship with management and ownership, his continued adeptness at injuring himself, and what I deemed to be his replacement at the top of the order by Carl Crawford.  Seems to me though, that with each passing spring workout and split squad I might be coming closer to paying on that debt of one case of Diet Sprite.
