One by dripping one, the playoff-bound Red Sox emerged from their clubhouse early this morning.

Standing in slippers, wearing “2009 AL Wild Card Champions’’ hats, grinning like rock stars, reeking of cigar smoke and dripping a trail of beer and bubbly onto the concrete concourse outside their sanctum, Mike Lowell, Dustin Pedroia, Jason Bay and Tim Wakefield shared their thoughts on going back to the playoffs.

“We play from the first day of the season, this is our goal,’’ said Lowell. “We’d rather do it on the field in front of the fans but we don’t care how it comes. Hopefully this is just step one.’’

When it’s a close game and the Buffalo Bills win, law enforcement generally has an easier job of maintaining order at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

“People have to pay attention, and they’re happy if the Bills win. It’s a better, happier crowd in general,” said Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew D. Benz, in explaining why 31 people were arrested Sunday inside and outside the stadium.

But it wasn’t a close game and the Bills didn’t win Sunday as the New Orleans Saints scored a decisive 27-7 victory. On top of that, the game started at 4:05 p.m., allowing fans to spend more time in the parking lot partying.

“I think people tailgate a little longer when the game doesn’t start until later,” Benz said. “I’m pretty sure the rest of the home games are at 1 o’clock.”

The Buffalo Bills’ retooled offensive line will go through another shuffle now that starting right tackle Brad Butler will miss the rest of the season because of a right knee injury.


Without revealing the nature of the injury, coach Dick Jauron announced Monday that Butler is out after it was determined he’ll require surgery a day after getting hurt in a 33-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Jauron said it’s likely the team will attempt to sign another offensive lineman to bolster its depth this week as Buffalo (1-1) prepares to host New Orleans (2-0). The Bills worked out several lineman this past month, including veteran tackle Jon Runyan, who remains a free agent after he wasn’t re-signed by Philadelphia after having microfracture surgery on his right knee.

It didn’t take long for injuries to catch up with the Buffalo Bills’ defense, which has three starters nursing various ailments.


Starting middle linebacker Paul Posluszny is expected to miss about six weeks after having surgery to repair a broken bone in his left arm, and both starting defensive ends also were listed on the team’s injury report after practice Wednesday. Chris Kelsay’s status is uncertain after he missed practice with a bruised knee, and Aaron Schobel has a sore back as the Bills prepare to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Bills coach Dick Jauron said Posluszny’s surgery went well and the team is hoping he’ll return before Week 8.

Posluszny was hurt during the first half of Buffalo’s season-opening 25-24 loss at New England on Monday. Though it’s unclear when he was injured, Posluszny had his arm wrapped and continued playing with it before leaving the game during the second quarter.
