Dear Jason Varitek, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Manny Delcarmen

I know everyone is in to the whole team unity type thing, let's all sit around and bond. While that's all nice and good, I would appreciate if the three of you would STAY AWAY from the rest of the team. I sure this whole Red Sox plague is nice and fun and all, but you guys really don't have to share, considering that we have a few guys injured, a few guys very prone to being injured, and many many games in just a few weeks with little to no off days.

See, there's this magic thing about illness. It tends to spread. What expedites the spread of Red Sox plague is contact with non-infected persons. So really, if you feel the need to come in to work (and it would be better if you didn't feel the need to do so), at least wear a surgical mask, wash your hands every 23 minutes as well as before and after touching things, and cough into your elbow.

Thank you. Love,
Red Sox Nation

(P.S. Theo's mom probably made some matzoh ball soup for passover. Don't hesitate to ask/beg for some. It WILL make you feel better.)
