Beltre is getting fed up with the questions and jokes flying around the past three weeks since he injured a testicle while trying to field a ground ball without the proper equipment.

But while he says he'll never answer that particular question again, manager Don Wakamatsu did the talking for him.

"Adrian will wear a cup tonight," Wakamatsu said before Tuesday's game.

When Beltre came up for his first at-bat, the theme for Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" was played, a gesture from Ken Griffey Jr.

I may be sacriligious here, but I don't follow sports cept in a very vague way.  I peruse the sports section of paper.

Yesterday, on radio or day before ???? I heard that when the players were announced to the crowd at beginning of game, they played nut cracker suite when Beltre was introduced.
