BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Clinton endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) to be the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate on Saturday and suspended her own White House bid less than a week after the Illinois senator secured enough support to win the nomination. Clinton's endorsement of Obama in a speech at the National Building Museum marked the beginning of efforts to reunite the Democratic Party after a long and divisive campaign battle that ended on Tuesday when Obama won the support of enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

Quotes about Justin Masterson
A lot of them want to come ... There are some guys, they're planning for this. Their vacation is going to be planned around there. This place is amazing. I've already talked to tons of guys. I talked to [Dustin] Pedroia, I talked to Mikey Lowell, [Josh] Beckett, [Justin] Masterson, [Jonathan] Papelbon. I invited everybody and pretty much everybody is going to come.

So my response is (based on Jere logic) Curvy number for the first number based on the shape). Seems to fill up most of it, so I'm guessing a 6. Looking over the left shoulder, so most likely a right handed pitcher Looks like he has one hell of a neck, so I'm going with Justin Masterson (#63)

What about a Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson deal for Javier V and a prospect? I am sure Lowrie could convert to 2nd or 3rd and Masterson would be a decent pitcher to work with.

We tried the other night [Monday] to just use [Paul] Byrd. Fortunately, that's what we did do, because we followed it up with a game when we were into the bullpen in the third inning, and we got away with [using] everybody but [Hideki] Okajima and [Jonathan Papelbon]. We could still go to [Manny] Delcarmen and [Justin] Masterson, but we have a very fresh Oki and Pap that we can lean on.

Marmol and Wood combined for 198 strikeouts in 153 2/3 innings -- making them the only bullpen duo in baseball that averaged over 11 K's per nine innings apiece. Jonathan Papelbon-Justin Masterson isn't bad ... But it isn't that dominating.

When he made a mistake or two, they hit them a long way ... Adam Jones hit that ball all the way home and Millar did what he's been known to do from time to time. But then he made pitches and he was pretty good. You look up in the fifth and I think he had 51 pitches, and on a night when we needed to stay away from [Manny] Delcarmen and [Justin] Masterson, getting to where he got us was very helpful.

Quotes from articles mentioning Justin Masterson
He's the type of guy that doesn't want to shake your hand, he wants to give you a hug ... He's absolutely the same guy, and you can't help but love those type of guys because he really does it the right way. He does it with a great attitude. He does it with a smile on his face. And you know what? He's competitive as heck, but you'd be hard pressed to know that if you met him off the field.

That’s why you play the game ... If you’re really into it, you want to be up there when it’s a tough situation, whether you’re a hitter or a pitcher. That’s when it’s fun.
said Justin Masterson
He’s earned it ... For us to run away from him now would be an error on our part. He did everything we asked of him this year. He started the year great but we sent him to Triple A so he could go to the bullpen so it would be fair to him. He did exactly what he was supposed to do and he’s impacted our bullpen.
said Terry Francona
When they spoke about Masterson [they said that] at some point in the season, he was probably going to accumulate some innings where we may want to put him in the bullpen because he could come up and really impact our season, which is exactly what’s happened ... I think the guys in this organization had a pretty good feel for some of these younger guys.
