Twitter-Mania Friday!!!

And so the second half begins today, with the Red Sox taking on the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays. I don’t know if it’s the thought of Ellsbury returning today, Buchholz tomorrow, and Crawford possibly Monday, but I am starting to feel a little more optimistic about the rest of the season. Here’s hoping! With that said, please enjoy this weeks tweets of the week:

David Ortiz: joked “I should be hitting leadoff (for the All-Star team) because I’ve been walking so much lately.”

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe
The kids running around the outfield chasing balls look like a deleted scene from the Hunger Games

David Ortiz @davidortiz

So the plan is for the Red Sox to activate Jacoby Ellsbury on Friday and Clay Buchholz on Sat. Trying to deal an OF, preferably Sweeney.

Jon Lester @JLester31
A lot of u have some harsh things to say. No one is more disappointed w/ how the 1st half of the season went than us. That’s why we #NVRQT

Jon Lester @JLester31
Get it all out now. And for those of you who remain positive and supportive, I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it! #NVRQT

Jon Lester @JLester31
Wanted to also thank my boy @davidortiz for making us proud and representing the @RedSox at the #ASG. #NVRQT

Keep the hate coming… We fuel off it. We know who the real fans are. We play hard every day for you guy.

Rain ruined my fishing trip today so I’m finally going to see ‘Ted.’ I hope it’s better than ‘Magic Mike’

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe
Good All-Star break for the #RedSox. Ortiz got a hit, Crawford starting rehab and John Henry didn’t help his wife learn any movie lines.

Jon Lester @JLester31
Guys, I love Boston, very happy here. Nothing better than playing for the @RedSox, hope to be here for my entire career! #dontbelievethehype

Wanted to send a big thank u to all the fans for their support. This is exactly why I love Boston and want to stay here! Love y’all! #NVRQT

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe
Middlebrooks hit me in the leg with a bat tonight and asked how it felt. “You’re always asking me,” he said. Pretty funny for a rookie.

Nick Punto @Shredderpunto
Excited and ready to take on the challenges of the second half! #RedSoxNation Two year old son got me right! Yfrog.us/elypoqz
