The Mob Gets Wacked--Peter

Lester pitched a gem; Pedroia had an ESPN Web Gem-worthy catch and then magnified it by doubling up the Chisox baserunner on 2d, and the Hub Hose bats finished the issue. Lester's worst inning was his first, when he had runners on 1st and 2d with one out. Next batter hits a sinking liner into shallow right center and Dusty runs after it, waves off JD coming in from right and Yoouk charging over from first, makes like Randy Moss hauling in a bomb from Brady and then turns and throws out the Pale Hose runner who'd been on second. Jenn, you HAD to see it. If you've Tivo'd this game, check it out! Shortly thereafter Lester becomes the Lester we've come to know and shuts down the Chicago mob, giving up nothing but zeroes for the rest of his stint. Billy Wagner finally gave up his first run as a Red Sox--a crushed 95 mph heater that sat a little too far out over the plate and came to rest about thirty rows deep in the cheaps.After that, the Fenmen's pen turned out the lights--no questions asked. First Dan Bard, throwing a bit slower than normal, only 99 mph, put a row of zeroes on the sheet and then The Laser closed out the game almost as easily.
Offense? Glad you asked, Jenn. Lowell may have a bad set of wheels, but he still knows how to swing a bat. Here comes the pitch. Bang! Two zip, Red Sox. The Red Sox answer to your hub, Jason Bay, added an RBI, and Vick Martinez settled things with a three run shot that left absolutely no doubt when it left the bat. You ask what else, Jenn? Well, Jake got three hits and added to his league leading steals total. He's at 59 and counting now.
Added to all of this Texas, the Stripes and the Rays all lost, so we're up in the Card by three, leading the Rays by seven, I believe, and within 7.5 of Mr. Hankie's Yankees.
