Twins Red Sox Series

Kubel got Wednesday and Thursday off because the Twins faced lefties. Lester starts tonight, and I don't think Gardy will start Kubel at DH, but I think Kubel will play Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

Here's Kubel's track record against these pitchers.

Matsuzaka (Saturday): 2-for-3 with a BB
Wakefield (Sunday): 1-for-5 with a HR and a BB
Buchholz (Monday): No ABs against

Let's hope that three days off will remind Kubel that he's at his best when he takes pitches, and he can work on bettering that awful K:BB --currently sitting at 23:3

I could be way off here and probably am but I'm gonna say it anyways. Some show up with a don't care attitude and some battle as we like to say in ski racing anxiety - tis is probably not the case, however, Kubes you are no different from any ballplayer who cares or understands the game (chess). Face it and recognize we are all created equal and guess what, you have been blessed with god given baseball skills - remember that #16 even though that # should be retired.
