Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp is out with a broken left index finger, an injury that occurred when he tried to steal third Saturday against Baltimore. He's 8-for-24 at the plate thus far in 2006 with a double, a triple, and six runs scored. The bad news for Sox fans is that he'll miss at least 10 days and is likely headed for the disabled list. The good news is that he doesn't need surgery. Looks like Pawtucket's Willie Harris is going to take his place on the roster if he does go to the DL.

Actually, I believe Dustan Mohr is going to be the call-up.

Either way, I'd expect to see Adam Stern in the lineup damn near every day while Crisp is gone, with Wily Mo Pena/Mohr getting a few occassional starts against lefties. Stern is a rule 5 guy and this is the perfect excuse for the Sox to see exactly what he's got this year.

He got a bit of playing time last year and his performance was hardly memorable. However, he was dominant for Canada in the WBC and didn't look to terrible at the plate in Sunday's Sox game, so hopefully things will go well over the next 10 or so days.

I think any team that has a player named "Coco Crisp" should really take a good look at themselves. I mean what happened? They envisioned a bunch of Red Sox fans with Crisp printed on the back of replica jerseys? Id rather have a steroid junkie on my team than a guy whos named after a oversugary serial! Coco Crisp. Hey I hear a guy called Lucky Charms in their farm system so theyll make a great pair!

So when is he scheduled to return ?? It could be worse as far as names go. You could have someone named after a chocolate bar .... Babe(Y) Ruth or maybe like Reggie Jackson and the "Reggie" candy bar. The name means nothing. Production is what it is all about.

You also got Milton Bradley out West...

Milton Bradley's a real gamer. I know when he first came up, a lot of people thought he would be a risk. Clearly, that wasn't the case, and I bet they're all sorry now. He gives all of the haters nothing but trouble these days. I know sometimes it seems like he doesn't have a clue what he's doing at the plate, but other times it seems like he could connect four times for home runs. He doesn't have a monopoly on talent, but hey, that's life, right?

In those cases mein freund the candy was named after the hall of fame player. Ol' Coco was named after a serial!!! No matter how many games the Red Sox win as long as they have something called Coco Crisp playing center field for them they lose a moral victory every night. So as far as im concerned the Red Sox are winless in every game the human box of serial plays in. Coco Crisp! Im gonna sign the Leprechaun from Lucky Charms oh wait he wants to play with his good friend Tony the Tiger!!!

I think Count Chokcula would make a good relief pitcher being for being a vampire hed only be used when the sun is down unless its a day game!

So just when is Coco returning to the line up ?

[Trashed]

If I ever met a man who's name was Coco Crisp then I would be compelled to laugh right in his face while tossing sugary breakfast cereals at him.

[LSC9901]

I'm sure with the paycheck he's getting he doesn't really care how we feel about his name, they need only to spell it right on his paycheck.

I dont know about that. Imagine waking up from a bad dream late at night, looking around your cold dark room, then getting up and when you stand up you realize your parents took their vengeance on you by naming you after a kid's breakfast cereal. Thats something money cant buy mi amigo.

Not sure I agree with your assessment . When Johnny Damon now faces the Red Sox they refer to him as Johnny DEMON. Call me whatever you want ...... just keep paying me that 52 MILLION dollar salary.
