G30: Red Sox 4, Twins 3

Curt tires in the 7th (6.2-8-3-2-7, 99), but Okajima and the Papelbot nail it down.

Cora, filling in at short for Lugo, singled twice (and nearly got a third hit on a drag bunt in the 9th) and scored twice. Pedroia doubled twice and singled.

At one point, NESN showed Manny and Sexy Lips on the bench, Manny with his arm around Tavarez, softly petting his head like he was a cute dog. They seemed quite cozy. (Maybe SG will offer us a screen shot; they recently blessed us with the DP Hug.)

Curt Schilling (3.15) / Sidney Ponson (6.67), 2 PM

In his five starts since Opening Day, Schilling has a 2.25 ERA.

Manny Ramirez is hitting .440 (11-for-25) in his last six games.

    According to the Herald's blog Manny isn't in the line up.

    BOSTON
    CF Coco Crisp
    SS Alex Cora
    DH David Ortiz
    1B Kevin Youkilis
    RF JD Drew
    3B Mike Lowell
    C Jason Varitek
    LF Eric Hinske
    2B Dustin Pedroia

    Hinske is 7 for 23 with 3 doubles vs Ponson.

    (RHP Curt Schilling)

    I'm following on Game Day at work. Was Ortiz out at the plate?

    How many times will he get called out at the plate this season, I wonder. It's been at least three already, maybe more.

    Crisp and Cora are batting one/two. Crisp and Cora are batting one/two. I want people aware that Coco Crisp, and Alex Cora, are likely to get the most at bats in today's game. One we, theoretically, are attempting to win.

    Francona's not even trying to win this game, I think. Wow.

    We are in big fucking trouble with Clemens to NY. God dammit. Instead of a replacement level player, they now have the best pitcher in baseball.

    This sucks.

    L-girl, yeah, Ortiz out at plate. Bartlett made a good relay, but a decent runner (or slide) and it's a run. Another awkward Ortiz slide. Twins TV (and confirmed over on YES between innings) says Clemens has signed with MFY (Clemens in booth with Kay---GAK). No other details, I'm sure we'll be deluged in due course. Just one more reason to GO SOX!!

    Good, the Clemens drama is over, so we can just concentrate on fixing this team as in getting a good lead off hitter.

    Also, bench clearing incident at Yankee game due to Proctor being a jerk.

    Sean, you are such a comedian.

    Either that, or you are such a fool. You decide.

    Sox go to 20-10, the same record after 30 games as in '71, '86, '94, and 2003.
