Jenn, this is getting really exciting! It's starting, and I emphasize that word, to remind me of the Sox in late 1967. Keep your eyes on the team. Tonight, Bucky's trailing one zip after Branyan dropped one in the cheaps, the only run the M's would manage, as it turned out. From that point on, the Sox came together. With one swing, Beltre moved closer to the thirty HR mark and tied the game. Two innings later, Papi led off with a ringing double and scored on an error by Figgins. You should have seen the play! Ball goes right through his legs like he's a Little Leaguer in his first game at the sack. Sox, 2-1! In the 7th, the Hose started the inning by getting hits from the first three batters they sent up, including a pair of doubles. Result: two more runs. They then finished off the scoring for the evening in the next inning after there were already two outs. Scoot singled, stole second, and then found he'd wasted his energy going to second because Kalish tripled and sent him home--5-1, Sox.
Bucky came out after seven and Oki tossed an inning of shutout ball, including an inning ending DP. Closing out the game, Atch tossed a perfect inning, getting three balls on the ground for an easy 1,2,3 outing.
So now the guys from the Fens are six and a half behind the Rays for the Division lead and six behind the Stripes for the card. Rays beat the Stripes tonight. Stay tuned. The Hose play Mr. Hankie's Yankees six more times this season, and the Rays and Yankees play each other another nine. Could get interesting. Hmmmm.
