It was the bottom of the order who put this one out of reach in the fourth inning. With the bases loaded, one out and the score knotted at 2-2, Varitek singled home one run, and Crisp and Lugo both followed with two-run doubles.
Boston led 7-2, although Tampa closed the gap to 7-5 in the fifth and 8-6 in the seventh. ... Also worth noting was David Ortiz's triple to left-center in the first inning and his infield single to the pitcher (who fielded it on the third base side of the grass) in the third. Wheels!
Papelbot came on for four outs, getting three strikeouts and an infield pop on 15 pitches. He is the first Red Sox pitcher in history to record 30 saves in back-to-back seasons.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 237 of 237Yes, it's the Laurila story. Looks like a lot of us got interviewed for that. My copy is on the way (I had no idea what "publication" it was gonna be), too, but one of my girlfriend's co-workers spotted my name in it today, so she brought it home.
And for dessert, two "runs scoring on ground outs." The TYR is complete.
This better not be the game where the opponent knocks the Yankee starter out and then the schmoe Torre puts in is suddenly unhittable for 6 innings.
Mathis has a chance here to make Villone look like Jeff Weaver.
Bases loaded 0 outs for the Angels. Yee haw
he emailed me a few days ago that it was out - i had forgotten all about it.
What ever happened to the thunder stix?
come on anjels
Villone walks three guys so its 8-5!
CI looks bemused about the whole thing.
BB makes it 8-5 and it's good nite villone
Vallone walks Figgins to force in a run. 8-5 Angels. Yankees bringing in another pitcher, still no one out, bases loaded in the 3rd.
Loaded, no out still, and 8-5. Looking good. More runs please.
I'm not a mean-spirited person by nature but I'd like to the Halos hammer the shit out this skinny little prick.
shemp has no business making that catch ... still, 9-5.

i'm off to bed if this inning ever ends. 'night in advance.
Wild one in LA tonite...
Torre looks decrepit enough from the dugout shots, but man, when he trudges out to the mound--he looks like he's heading to the front door of the nursing home.
I always thought Torre's walk to the mound was more Night of the Living Dead.
yankee fans better re-learn how to count to 6
O-CAB
18-5. I want more.
GARRETT ANDERSON!

Jeter pinch-hit for in the seventh. There's no quit in that guy.
It ain't 2 grand slams, but it is 10 RBI's...amazing considering he came in with only 40.
start spreading the news
magic # = 31
Good times. Possibly even worth staying up for.
Ah, what a beautiful morning! Nothing like waking up to a SIX GAME LEAD to start the day off right.
