Orioles - 000 040 000 - 4 8 1Kevin Youkilis sparked the Sox with his first four-hit game of the season: single, two doubles, home run. He drove in four runs, three on a dong to left in the third.
Red Sox - 014 100 00x - 6 12 1
Beckett stumbled in the fifth. The inning began with a single, double, walk, bases-loaded walk, double and fielding error. But with a man on second and no outs -- tying run at the plate -- he settled down, getting out of trouble, then ending his night by setting down the side in order with a seven-pitch sixth inning.
And the bullpen was stellar once again. Okajima, Saito and Papelbon combined for a 3-2-0-0-4 line.
Also: Cleveland scored 14 runs in the second inning against the Yankees and won 22-4. Because the Rays lost to Chicago, the Red Sox hopped over them into fourth place. At 5-6, we are 3 GB the high-flying Blue Jays.

Adam Eaton (9.00, 58 ERA+) / Josh Beckett (3.46, 154 ERA+)
Eaton has made only one start this season: last Sunday against the Rays. He went 4-8-4-2-6, 100 and Baltimore lost 11-3.
Eaton had a 5.80 ERA (75 ERA+) for the Phillies in 107 innings last year.

good, but she should already know i think that.
Meanwhile, the Padres continue to surprise.
On fire
Flaming double.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time a Major League club put up a 14-run inning was June 27, 2003, when the Red Sox did it against the Marlins in Fenway Park.
****
IBB to Tek?
That was when we scored 10 in the 1st before an out was recorded.
"According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time a Major League club put up a 14-run inning was June 27, 2003, when the Red Sox did it against the Marlins in Fenway Park."
10 runs in before they even recorded an out, I believe.
Yeah Tek must be feelin really good right now. Talking to the first baseman: "Yeah, sometimes they prefer not to pitch to me."
Damon was 3/4 of the way to the cycle in the first inning.
Strike amoeba.
Damon: 5 for 7 in that game.
I have to get ready to go home. And since it now takes me TWICE AS FUCKING LONG TO GET HOME, I won't see the rest of the game. grumble grumble.
Dear Red Sox,
Please hold this lead and win the game.
Love,

Idiot Red Sox fans doing the wave.
Looked like the front foot never reached second--didn't get to the bag until the back foot landed. NESN with crappy replays. MASN people, your thoughts?
I thought it looked like that too, on MASN.
The Wave: 95% of people hate it, but 99% do it if given the chance.
Proud to be among the 1%.
I've been a card-carrying member of Wave Busters since the mid 80s. I have never stood once. But I do respect the Fen-wave as it oddly has become a tradition.
I do not believe 95% of people hate it. And there are plenty of traditions that should be done away with. Length of existense is no measure of worth.
This bullpen is looking awesome for the season. Aside from Lopez.
Someone needs to get on to give Youk another chance at the cycle.
That'll work.
KIm: "drop it drop it drop it..."
And Youk gets his chance for the 3B!!!!!
Get pissed, Bay!
Make'em pay, Bay.
WTF. There's no foul ground over there.
"I do not believe 95% of people hate it."
I feel like if you ask anybody they'll SAY they hate it, but the fact that a few people can get 40,000 to do I guess makes them liars.
But what I like is how when you think about it from the bleacher people's perspective, it's like their way of making the box seat people have to stand up. But only if they start it between innings! The worst is watching some asshole during a rally, back to the field, desperately trying to start a Wave and acting like the people watching the game are the assholes.
Bleh.
Disappointing end to that, but at least it's still a save situation.
Disappointing end to that, but at least it's still a save situation.
We were hoping it wouldn't be.
I still can't get over the strikezone this game.
Uh, Paps.
Throw strikes.
Lowell, Tek and Velazquez up in the 9th, if necessary. ... Let's end this now.
Throw fucking strikes.
He tries too hard to get Ks. Just get the outs.
There's two.
Like that.
Water.
Water!
Back just in time for the Bot.
Dirty crab water
Oh, wow, that was quick. GDGD didn't even get a chance to load in time.
I'm at Fenway tomorrow, with a friend who hasn't been there since '97! See you clowns bright and early Monday morning.
I did not see any baseball scores all day except the earliest ones, then checked a little while ago.
Schadenfreude post, ja?
Late to the party but I was at the game last night (sitting in Section 29) and I witnessed a kid get not one but two foul balls sitting in the Loge seats (section 60?). Anyone got the odds on that?
