[longgame]

Mookie was either aggressive or stupid - the difference being out or safe going first to third on a hit to left field!  Beni made up for it.  Nice to get the early lead.

[markj]

Xander makes it 2-0.

[markj]

Sox are really good at hitting balls directly at the outfielders.

[markj]

LOBsters galore.

[Schloicka]

Price looking very good through 6 innings. Maybe 1 more inning?

[markj]

Braiser comes in and promptly allows a run.

[markj]

Kinsler should have held that tag on better.

[markj]

Dammit. Nice work, Brasier.

[markj]

The game has turned around very quickly. Sox need to stop leaving LOBsters and start scoring some runs (said Capt. Obvious).  sigh

[markj]

Attaboy, JD.

[markj]

Tied up, but more LOBsters.

[markj]

Kelly is back to being useless.

[markj]

Way late to be warming Thornburg. Should have started him after the second batter got on base.

[markj]

Ugh. This game is about done. The BP really screwed this one up.
