Lyndon leadoff single into the SS hole.

FY BB.

allan said...

Crawford single to RCF, LBJ scores, 1-0.

allan said...

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!!

allan said...

Yook out on a sinking liner to CF.

allan said...

Ortiz walks on 5 pitches, bases loaded for Drew.

allan said...

Drew BB on 5 pitches, Crawford scores, 3-0, still loaded for Salty.

allan said...

Salty hard grounder up the middle, AG and Flo score, 5-0.

allan said...

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.

allan said...

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

allan said...

Beckett:
F7
HBP
L9 (drew leaping backhand stab)
3U

allan said...

MLB has 34 pitches in the 1st for Figueroa. NESN says it's 36.

If NESN info ever differs, it is almost always wrong.

allan said...

Pedroia 5-3
Crawford F7
Gonzalez 6-3

BOS - 50
HOU - 0

Salty first pitch single: 3-for-3!

nick said...

Our catcher is only batting .417--we need a Molina!

Zenslinger said...

I'm relieved Beckett is looking so good. And, Salty? Who knows -- sky's the limit. Or at least a .900 OPS or so.

s1c said...

am hoping that friar tuck fixed salty's problems - sure beats cacti behind the plate.

allan said...

LBJ: 3-for-4

s1c said...

Reyes - a thinner el guapo?

allan said...

Because he's MY BUTLER!

Jere said...

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.
