Ex-Corey-Ated
Like the drummers in spinal tap, right-handed Red Sox relievers always wonder what doom awaits them when Mike Timlin nurses his way back to health. Bryan Corey need wonder no longer: he was designated for assignment so that Timlin would be available for the Yankees series.
Along with Timlin he was one of the more enthusiastic percussionists of the pen, so if they miss a beat or two tonight, it might be because Corey is no longer thumping away.
