Game Story: Broken Record.
Hinske steals second. Soon after this, he would move onto third, and just as quickly to the clubhouse due to injury.
14 LOB.
Daisuke pitched well, but (14 LOB) was unable to come away with the win. B.J. Upton hit a 6th inning (14 LOB) 2-run HR to put the Devil Rays in the lead for good. Mike (14 LOB) Timlin and Eric (14 LOB) Gagne kept the deficit to one, combining for two scoreless (14 LOB) innings.
Three (14 LOB) doubles on the evening, one each from Youkilis, Papi, and (14 LOB) Lugo. {Recent} whipping boy J.D. Drew managed (14 LOB) to go 2 for (14 LOB) 4 with a BB. David (14 LOB) Ortiz reached base in all 5 of his PAs this (14 LOB) evening. He was left (14 LOB) stranded when Tito (14 LOB) allowed 'Tek (14 LOB) to bat while "Being" sat and (14 LOB) watched. Apparently Kevin Cash needed the (14 LOB) rest.

Daisuke, who didn't deserve (14 LOB) to be tagged with the loss.

So many (14 LOB) choices for this one, though 'Tek really had an awful (14 LOB) night at the plate.

Re: Game Story: Broken Record.
Edwin Jackson: Pitched like Jon Lester on a good night, the walks, the control issues, but his stuff (which is very good) allowed him to minimize the damage.
B.J. Upton is already a scary beast. Turned 23 two days ago. And this is just watching him the last few games (and in person at Comerica Park a couple weeks ago), but he'll be in the top 2 or 3 defensive CFs in the ML when he stops having to use his speed/athleticism make up for questionable routes.
Dice-K the Monster
Matsuzaka (13-10), has had two runs or less of support in 12 of his last 16 starts. Can you imagine what his record would look like now if he'd had even average run support for the season?
Watch out - cause next year this guy will be the MLBs first pitcher to win 20 games guaranteed.
A needed occasional sacrifice
I sure hope Francona does that pull this crap when it really counts!
