YET ANOTHER THING FOR LYNNE TRUSS TO GET ALL HOT AND BOTHERED ABOUT: Since Adam's taking a break from his usual sports beat, guess I'll fill in for a moment. This article about how new Red Sox shortstop Orlando Cabrera is dealing with replacing the beloved No-mah is interesting enough as it is, but what drew my attention to it is the headline: "Red Sox' New Shortstop Fits Like a Glove" Perhaps it's just me, but shouldn't there be an "s" after that apostrophe? Obviously, it's not a common rule of grammar (since there are very few plurals that are properly formed ending in an "x"), but wouldn't the proper form be "Red Sox's New Shortstop Fits Like a Glove?" Maddening, to be sure.
