Lyndon leadoff single into the SS hole.
And he easily steals on a 0-2 pitch to FY.
FY BB.
Crawford single to RCF, LBJ scores, 1-0.
Gonzalez pop to short left. Carlos Lee over to line, then stops and watches ball fall right in front of him, at his feet! FY scores, 2-0. Home fans booing!!
Yook out on a sinking liner to CF.
Ortiz walks on 5 pitches, bases loaded for Drew.
Drew BB on 5 pitches, Crawford scores, 3-0, still loaded for Salty.
Salty hard grounder up the middle, AG and Flo score, 5-0.
Scutaro lines to SS, flip to 2B to double off Drew. But umpire blows the call and calls him safe. So 2 outs. ... Ellsbury ends inning.
Very clear out at second, umpire standing right there, still can't get it right.
I do not look forward to a season of shitty calls on obvious plays
Beckett:
F7
HBP
L9 (drew leaping backhand stab)

MLB has 34 pitches in the 1st for Figueroa. NESN says it's 36.
If NESN info ever differs, it is almost always wrong.
Pedroia 5-3
Crawford F7
Gonzalez 6-3
BOS - 50
HOU - 0

Loaded for the Craw
Craw hard single to right, 8-0.

BOS - 500 3 - 8 9 0
HOU - 000 0 - 0 0 0
Salty first pitch single: 3-for-3!
Our catcher is only batting .417--we need a Molina!
I'm relieved Beckett is looking so good. And, Salty? Who knows -- sky's the limit. Or at least a .900 OPS or so.
am hoping that friar tuck fixed salty's problems - sure beats cacti behind the plate.
LBJ: 3-for-4
Reyes - a thinner el guapo?
Because he's MY BUTLER!
Was at this game tonight. Wonder why such a sparse crowd.
At the 7th Inning Stretch, after TMOTTBG, they play The Stars At Night...
Looking forward to a real game Friday.
