Nuggets from Gillette

Posted by Reiss' Pieces August 31, 2008 at 12:31 pm

FOXBOROUGH -- Patriots players are back to work today at Gillette Stadium and media members had access in the locker room this morning (10:45-11:30 a.m.).

The locker room always has a much different look today, the day after the roster is cut down to 53 players. Gone are the temporary blue lockers in the middle of the room which were occupied by the rookies, as those youngsters who made the club now have permanent lockers around the perimeter of the room.

A few nuggets to pass along:

  • Jerod Mayo now occupies the corner locker that was Junior Seau's the last two years. Throughout the offseason and training camp/preseason, that locker had been empty.

  • Rookie free agent Gary Guyton, who wore No. 48 in the preseason, is now No. 59.

  • Several players said they were unaware of which players were cut Saturday, with Rodney Harrison and Jonathan Wilhite expressing surprise regarding Fernando Bryant.

  • Receiver Randy Moss spent some time chatting with media members, and we'll plan on passing along his comments shortly.

  • Quarterback Tom Brady walked through the room, coming from the weight room, but did not speak with reporters.

    Revolution Newsstand - August 31

    Posted by revseye August 31, 2008 at 9:57 am


    What a thrilling game last night. Despite tired and heavy legs, the Revs - courtesy of Shalrie Joseph - pulled out the draw with a rejuevenated Los Angeles squad in front of an electric crowd 39,000+ at Gillette Stadium. Taylor Twellman’s nose for goal earned him not only his fifth goal of the year - and his 96th career goal - but also five stitches and a pretty swollen cheek.

    The Boston Globe had not only a game story, but also a notebook with a few tidbits about Matt Reis, Gabriel Badilla and David Beckham.

    The Boston Herald has a game story, while both the Telegram & Gazette and Sun Chronicle also check in with game recaps.

    MLSnet.com has both the game story, as well as a sidebar about the Revs’ recent stretch of games.

    Patriots cut Bryant, retain Cassel

    Posted by Christopher L. Gasper, Globe Staff August 31, 2008 at 12:00 am Covering up for the departure of Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel is proving a little bit tougher than the Patriots expected, because when the team made its final cuts yesterday it axed cornerback Fernando Bryant, who had started all four exhibition games, the last three in Samuel's old left cornerback spot.

    Red Sox roll behind Pedroia’s hot bat

    Posted by Ian Browne August 30, 2008 at 11:35 pm Dustin Pedroia was a hit machine once again on Saturday, producing four of them for the second night in a row, and leading the Red Sox to an 8-2 victory over the White Sox.

    Looks like a win for the kid

    Posted by Extra Bases August 30, 2008 at 10:27 pm

    We're in the top of the ninth and the Sox lead, 8-2.

    Looks like Michael Bowden, who went five innings (two runs, seven hits) will win his major league debut becoming the youngest Sox pitcher since Juan Pena to win his debut. Pena won on May 8, 1999 when he was 21 years and 315 days old. Bowden was 21 years, 356 days tonight.

    Another big night for cleanup hitter Dustin Pedroia who has four hits for the second straight night. He became the first Sox hitter with back-to-back four-hit games since Wade Boggs June 8 and 10, 1989. Pedroia has 182 hits, one shy of the Sox record for second baseman set by Del Pratt in 1922. Pedroia was walked intentionally by Ozzie Guillen with a runner on third in an 8-2 game in the eighth. Pedroia reached base 10 consecutive times the last two games -- eight hits and two walks.

    Other big nights: Jacoby Ellsbury -- three hits and three runs; Jed Lowrie, 2 RBIs; Mark Kotsay -- three hits, three RBIs; Jason Bay -- 2 RBIs; Jeff Bailey -- home run.
