Manny's back!

Ramirez made his first appearance since his oblique strain against the Yankees on August 28. Manny has scored the Red Sox lone run so far (as of the beginning of the bottom of the 5th). He also batted 2nd for the first time in his career.

Manny coming back, hopefully healthy, is huge. If the Sox are going to do any damage in the playoffs, having Manny and Papi doing their thing in the lineup is key.

Youk pinch hit as well, which is good. Hopefully we can get everyone healthy and ready for the Indians or Angels next week.
