Red Sox - 020 001 000 - 3 7 0Lester was strong (7-6-0-1-5, 98) and Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo provided the offense. Crisp hit a two-run home run in the second. In the sixth, he singled, stole second and third and scored on Lugo's double.
Phillies - 000 000 000 - 0 7 0
Ryan Howard struck out swinging four times, earning himself what some call the "golden sombrero"; I prefer "golden shower".

I would think we'd be on a Mike Timlin death-watch. He hasn't really hurt the team much, at least as much as I thought he would, but when your ERA is over 7 at mid-season, you have to be hearing footsteps. Other former Sox bullpen stalwarts were dumped around this time in similar straits---Greg Harris, El Guapo, Allan Embree. How much longer can Timlin avoid the inevitable?
Does anybody know if the MLB is allowing Johnny Pesky in the Redsox dugout again? I know last year Bob whatever his last name is was being an asshole and they kicked him out. And I signed some petition to let him back in.
