Sox talk:

All is quiet around the Red Sox despite the Yankees making a huge splash by landing right fielder Bobby Abeu and right handed starter Corey Lidle from the Phillies in exchange for four minor leaguers..Despite the rivalry the Sox aren't about to jump and make a deal just to match the move made by the Yanks..."I think you acknowledge that they got a good player," said Sox manager Terry Francona. "I know Theo and those guys have been burning up the phones."...Francona also acknowledged that he would actually prefer of the team did nothing, "I think we all really like our team. I wish I could sit here and guarantee we'd win the World Series, but I really like this team."....Keith Foulke suffered a set back today, and is experiencing some back pain after his outing in Pawtucket. He was expected to be activated of the DL tomorrow, but now that seems to be a week away...Mark Loretta was given the night off, but this time of year whenever any starter isn't in the line-up rumors begin to fly. "Yeah, he's being traded," Francona joked...David Wells will pitch tomorrow for the first time in over two months tomorrow...The Sox acquired pitcher Brandon Corey prior to the game, he wasn't activated for the game but was put on the 40 man roster, he's expected to be optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket..I'll check back in as soon (and if) anything breaks..ttyl-Chris
