SAN DIEGO -- The Boston Red Sox play tourist for one more game, facing the Padres in San Diego on WednesdayThat means one more outing without David Ortiz in the starting lineup with no designated hitter in play.Thats big for Boston, having to go without Big Papi.But Red Sox manager John Farrell shrugs about the dilemma as Boston goes for the series win on Wednesday. Its not like this Interleague series snuck up on anybody.The schedule is with it is, Farrell said. We knew that this trip out here was going to be taking place last winter. The fact is you got 15 teams in each league so Interleague is going to be played (almost) every night.They go against a club looking forward to the offseason. The Padres are steamrolling toward their sixth straight losing season.The Red Sox have their sights set on the playoffs. Wednesday will be another critical game as they keep pace with the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto is where the Red Sox head next, as theyll get their passports stamped and their Big Papi -- hes in the AL top 10 in numerous categories -- back in the order.Ortiz is making his final swing through Southern California as hell retire at the end of the season. But his last tour has him in a pinch-hitters role as the only glove Ortiz is wearing in the series is a batting glove.He had a grand opportunity in the series opener on Monday. With the tying run in scoring position, Ortiz lifted a harmless fly ball to end the game.So Ortiz will again be a key card for Farrell to play on Wednesday, as lefty David Price (14-8, 3.92) squares off against right-hander Jarred Cosart (0-2, 5.14).Would Farrell like to have Ortiz and his production in his lineup? Yep, but hell have to settle for Ortiz being a one-trick pony for another game.I think any time we dont have David Ortiz in the lineup ... sure that would negatively affect any club, Farrell said.The Padres added a player and he could play on Wednesday. Outfielder Jon Jay was activated from the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday, as hes been out since June 20. He was a catalyst as the leadoff man, batting .296 with 24 doubles, two home runs, 23 RBI and 35 runs scored. His .345 on-base percentage fit in well, too.Jay has always been cozy in center field. But with the rebuilding Padres doing auditions for next season at nearly every position, Jay will be on the move.You are going to see Jay start in all three spots, Padres manager Andy Green said.Although Jay hasnt been on the field, hes still had an impact.Even during his injury absence, he was a clubhouse leader, Green said.The same could be said for Ortiz, although hes idle for a different reason. But his impact is felt, with Green wondering when Farrell is going to send his slugger to the plate.When Ortiz strolls to the dish, the Red Sox get an emotional boost as fans -- Bostons backers are packing Petco Park -- underscore the significance of his at-bats.

NORTON, Mass. -- One week into the Ryder Cup auditions for the captains picks, Davis Love III should have no trouble identifying the hot player.Trouble is, Rory McIlroy plays for the other team.The Deutsche Bank Championship, where McIlroy rediscovered his putting stroke, was the first of two big tournaments that essentially allow Love and the Americans to buy time so they can decide how to use three captains picks that will be announced Monday.Love will get a fourth pick after the FedEx Cup ends on Sept. 25, presumably before the boarding door closes on the flight to Hazeltine.But is this really an audition?Not according to Phil Mickelson, the senior member of the U.S. team who serves on the Ryder Cup Task Force.I think the picks are fairly obvious, Mickelson said before the first shot was struck at the TPC Boston. If theyre not, or if we get a guy like Billy Horschel who just gets a hot hand and we need that hot hand to give us the best chance to win, then we have that option. For the most part, I think its fairly obvious who the picks would be without even naming them.Maybe its obvious to Mickelson, and perhaps to Love.But not to everyone.I cant name them, either, said Steve Stricker, an assistant captain and task force member. I dont know who they are, I swear. I could put five guys down that are obvious. I dont think I could do three.Matt Kuchar would seem logical. He finished 12th in the standings, has the right game for match play because he is rarely out of position, and he likely played his way onto the team with that 63 on the final day to win the bronze medal at the Olympics.Rickie Fowler makes sense, even though he has never won a match in two Ryder Cup appearances. Fowler is well-liked, he paired nicely with PGA champion Jimmy Walker at Gleneagles and tied for seventh at The Barclays in the final qualifying event. Then again, he squandered a chance to play his way onto the team at Bethpage Black by making a mess of the last four holes. He wound up 11th in points.After that, the obvious becomes opinions.Bubba Watson finished at No. 9 in the standings and he is No. 7 in the world. However, the two-time Masters champion hasnt had a top 10 on the PGA Tour in six months. Jim Furyk is under consideration, mainly because he finished at No. 15 in the standings despite missing four months att the start of the year to recover from wrist surgery.dddddddddddd He also shot 58. But he didnt make it beyond the second stage of the FedEx Cup playoffs.J.B. Holmes was No. 10 in the standings. Holmes is a power player and one of the few active Americans to have never been on a losing Ryder Cup team. His only appearance was in 2008 at Valhalla. He went 2-0-1.Thats five options, and there might be more.But lets say the initial three captains picks really are obvious.Why wait?Europe filled out its team with three captains picks last Tuesday, two days after qualifying ended. Too soon? It might look that way with Alex Noren winning in Switzerland and moving up to No. 27 in the world. At least it has a team of 12 for a month leading to the opening shot on Sept. 30.The Americans wont have a full team until they arrive at Hazeltine.They were giddy about their trip to Gillette Stadium last week, even though only two-thirds of the team was there. It led to one awkward moment when someone asked Kuchar how he liked the home of the New England Patriots and the speech from 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey captain Mike Eruzione. Kuchar wasnt there. Neither was Fowler. Or the other obvious pick.As for the final pick, Love is thrilled with the idea that someone could get hot and reach the Tour Championship and have a shot at winning the FedEx Cup and I get to pick him on Sunday night.That sounds great, as long as its the right guy who wins.Of the 70 players moving on to Indiana for the third playoff event, eight are Americans who have never won a PGA Tour event and, according to Love, still on his radar.Love asked a question in New York last week that he couldnt answer, and neither can anyone else.Is it easier for that guy to stay hot -- or for that other guy to get hot? he said.The Americans are looking for any edge they can find. Its hard to blame them since they have only won the Ryder Cup twice since 1995. But would it take anything away from the Ryder Cup if both teams had the same qualifying system? Start it one year out, take 11 players and give the captains one wild-card pick.And then go play.Because golf is supposed to be a sport that rewards a good score, not a good relationship. ' ' '
