* Tony Massarotti compares this year's team to last year's at this time, and his findings are unsurprising. It's the bullpen, stupid. "The Red Sox have allowed 47 more earned runs than they had a year ago at this time -- that is nearly one run per game.... Sox relievers currently have a 5.17 ERA, nearly two full runs higher than their 2004 brethren (3.19)."

* Jay Payton, who was promised 350-400 at-bats when he signed with the team but is only on pace for 200+, tells the Herald he a wants trade:

"There's probably a half a dozen other teams, a dozen other teams, I could be playing for,'' Payton said. "Actually, as far as playing time, this is one of the worst situations I can be in because if I'm hitting .800 I still wouldn't be playing any more than I am right now because they've got their boys."

As Rotoworld points out, " 'their boys' are three All-Star level players. Payton is hitting .252/.310/.408, and when he got a chance to play every day for the Padres last season, he laid an egg, hitting .260/.326/.367." Still, it looks like we're trying to honor his request. If we can get a decent arm or two for him, let's do it.

* As predicted, once John Olerud started breathing down his neck, Kevin Millar turned it on. Now that he's batting .500 in June, he's talking the talk. Great. He still only has five RBIs this month.

* Speaking of first basemen challenging other first basemen for their jobs, Dauber back where he belongs -- in the majors. Good for him. And look out, Minky.

* The Globe previews the series we start tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates. We haven't played them in Boston since we beat 'em in Game Eight (yes, Game Eight) of the first World Series at the old Huntington Avenue Grounds on October 13, 1903. Not only that, but, "the Pirates haven't played in Boston since 1952, the year before the Braves moved to Milwaukee [and] haven't played at Fenway since the Braves called the park home in 1915."

Were the seats this bad then, too?
