(Ross MacDonald Illustration)The Big East
It used to be easier. It was just the Yankees and Red Sox, the Red Sox and Yankees, for a decade. But now, in the game's strongest division, three is a crowd. With perhaps the three best teams in baseball, there's a problem. At least one will not make the playoffs - that's a guarantee.

Just as soon as David Ortiz rights himself, it's Jason Bay whose swing and timing is failing him. The tale of two sluggers is just one of the themes in this week's mailbag.

Globe 10.0: How will Manny be welcomed back?
Tony Massarotti and Kevin Paul Dupont debate how Manny Ramirez will be welcomed back after serving his suspension for PEDs.
Close with the closer
Josh Papelbon is 2 1/2 years younger, 3 inches shorter, and 15 pounds lighter than his brother Jonathan. He is a relief pitcher, but Josh and Jonathan share nothing else on a pitcher’s mound. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)
Bay becomes US citizen
(AP)
Red Sox left fielder Jason Bay has long played America's pastime and can now call himself an American. The 30-year-old from Canada was among 360 people to became US citizens Thursday in a ceremony at Boston's historic Faneuil Hall. Bay said "it's a pretty proud day for me." He said his wife and daughters are Americans.
Red Sox notebook
Lugo rolls with the punches
Julio Lugo arched his eyebrows, feigning surprise as a pack of reporters approached him Wednesday afternoon in Baltimore. “What happened?’’ Lugo said. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)
Green has made major changes
The harshness of his season behind him, Nick Green plotted how to rebuild his career last winter. He had not played one major league game for the first time since 2004, a regression Green figured would take a full season to rectify. That was his goal for this year. Play enough at Triple A somewhere to get noticed. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)
Roundup
Mariners snap Yankees’ streak
Franklin Gutierrez and Russell Branyan homered, leading the Seattle Mariners past CC Sabathia and the host Yankees, 8-4, last night to snap New York’s seven-game winning streak. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)
Tainted Ramírez returns tonight
Manny Ramírez will be back in the big leagues tonight after a 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug policy. His return should be nothing short of a spectacle. (Boston Globe, 12 a.m.)
Sites help sports figures keep us posted
The sports world’s eager embrace of social media like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter is giving fans greater access to their favorite athletes. Fans are privy to the humorous, the informative, the inane, and the fraudulent. The bigger the name, the bigger the draw for would-be imposters. And the bigger the virtual, viral headache.

Less than 24 hours after failing to hold off the Orioles, Jonathan Papelbon celebrated his Sox-record 133d save . The Sox trailed 5-1 in the ninth but rallied for the win, 6-5. (Boston Globe, 7/2/09)

Charity begins at home plate
Going to Fenway Park for Red Sox-Mariners Saturday? Bring a box of tissue. Bring your checkbook, too. Boston’s ancient baseball theater will be one of 15 major league parks honoring the 70th anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s farewell speech (“I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth’’) and raising funds to support ALS research.
