Quote: When the team gets back to Boston, catcher Jason Varitek and right fielder Trot Nixon both will be close to rejoining the team now that their vaginas seemed to have stopped bleeding as well.
Varitek had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Aug. 3, while Nixon has been on the 15-day DL since July 31 with a strained right biceps. Varitek will probably only play four or five innings when he first returns.
"We have to use some common sense," Francona said. "We have to try to find a way to survive and win games. Right now, we're not the team we were a month ago. We're beat up and playing different guys. Plus we really are nothing more than a bunch of pussies with bleeding vaginas. I suppose everybody knew that already though."
