Dougie to the Rescue!

Chris Snow reports that the Red Sox have redeemed Doug Mirabelli from San Diego in time to make tonight's start against Johnny Damon and the Yankees. As if this game didn't have enough excitement already! Hopefully, Dougie can put this into the history books with a game-winning shot or some such to announce his return to the team.

Does this mean the Sox are reassembling the 25? How great would a Dave Roberts trade be right now? And we need a lefty specialist... Mike Myers, call your office! OK, so maybe that's a stretch. Anyway, source is Chris Snow, with a hat tip to Dirt Dogs.

I LOVE IT...Dougie Fresh always had a way of being "sneaky clutch". A big hit tonight wouldn't surprise me in the least. Let's go Sox!!

Hmmm, apparently Dougie didn't make it across the country in time. Late inning PH appearance?

NEVER MIND! He made it!

And Eric Wilbur for the Globe reports that Mirabelli had a police escort to race him to the ballpark in 12 minutes flat! Now that's what I call the public interest!
