I'm perplexed and puzzled by Grady Little, who's taken his first page out of the Jimy Williams/Don Zimmer/Pete Carroll/M.L. Carr "Treasury of Questionable Moves" playbook tonight. To set things up, in case you haven't been paying attention: the Sox tonight play the Yankees. Both teams are in the AL East, the Yankees have conistently gotten the better of Boston (which is a bit like saying that Germany has consistently gotten the better of France), and the Red Sox are operating this year at a disadvantage, personnel- and money-wise. So Grady decides to give Nomar Graciaparra the night off. Now, I know Nomar was hurt all last year, but for God's sake, rest him against freaking Kansas City! When you're trying to catch a team, and have been trying to catch them for 80+ years, you put your best team on the field. Every time possible.
