outs.  Porcello has allowed just one home run.

BARTOLO COLON, RHP, 1-0, 2.87 ERA, 21K

Colon faced a season-high 27 batters in his last start against the Blue Jays.

Gamer over, no longer needs to be played........Bradley back in the lineup; two strikeouts, most likely another 0for and we lose.  Leon?  Needs to be DFA's, like yesterday. 
This is disgusting and is nothing more than prejudicial favortism for a player who simply doesn't belong in the lineup.

Watching NESN pre game show.  Even Lyons and Ecketsley are questioning putting Bradley in the lineup and sitting Moreland who is hot.

Sox go down 1-2-3 to start the game.

[markj]

Decent 1st inning for Porcello.

[markj]

JD dinger. Sox up 1-0.

[markj]

Porcello looking great so far. So offense, not so much.

[markj]

Dammit, I jinxed him. No sooner typed that post above and he gives up a solo dinger. Now tied at 1.

[markj]

Raffy get the run back with a massive blast to RF. 2-1

[markj]

Mookie goes yard again. Now 3-1.

[Bill-806]

OH well, SOX looking good.... Lets see what they look like in the morning !!....... thumb_u

[markj]

Beni with a nice catch. Sort of. Maybe. No challenge, so it stands as an out.

[markj]

Raffy with another dinger. Aside from round-trippers, Sox have had almost no base runners.

And the idiots at NESN are back to running the same damn commercial at every stinking break.

[markj]

Sox finally get a base runner (Leon - walk) and then bring him around to score. 5-1
