Jenn: One of the traditional expressions of the meat of a lineup in baseball is the Heart of the Order. It usually refers to the three through five hitters of the batting order because that's where the best and/or strongest hitters of a lineup are to be found. Well, tonight that heart and the Sox starter, Lester, who personifies heart both were beating loud and clear. Lester went seven giving up a single run in the 5th and getting 7 K's along the way. Better yet, he really pitched when it counted in the 1st when the O's were looking like they might break out and score. His WHIP for the game was ).857--pretty classy.
The other heart I referred to above was the Heart of the Order: Ortiz, Yooooukk and JD. Among them they were 8-12, JD being 3-3. They also collected six ribbies, four doubles and a HR. Beating quite loudly I'd say.
Let's hope they finish off the Birds tomorrow.
