TEK UNFOULKES THE SOX

Nice comeback to save Foulke who has been pitching poorly. All last season he gave up 8 homers. He's given up 8 so far this season. Dotel doesn't really seem like he'd be that effective of a closer. He walks alot of batters and throws pretty much just fastballs.

The Man of the Game is Varitek who went 3 for 4 with a double, homer, and a single. He knocked in three and scored twice. All the runs he knocked in gave the Sox a lead. THAT is clutch hitting.

Clement had a nice start too. If he can stay solid and have a few nice starts here and there, he should end up having a good year. Foulke needs to get back on the ball though.

The Sox head out west for 3 with Seattle and 3 with Oakland. Normally, these trips are rough on us but given the poor play these two teams are practicing, it should be a fun trip. The key word is "should."

Kevin Millar had a terrible game until the bottom of the 9th. A pair of errors and some idiotic decisions at first base coupled with an 0 for 3 until the 9th when he hit a game winning 2 run shot.

This game was a really fun one to watch. Great pitching, some clutch hitting, and a few nice defensive plays like the diving catch by Byrnes to save a 1-1 tie and a nice catch by Damon going back to the wall.

The Man of the Game is Johnny Damon who is hotter than the sun. He went 3 for 3 with a pair of singles and a triple. He also walked and had a nice grab in center field. He had 3 of the Red Sox 5 hits.

The Sox look to complete the sweep tomorrow afternoon.

Just found out about this site with writing on all sorts of baseball stories from across the Majors. Great site for fans of the game.

Wells will throw off the mound before tomorrow's game.

The Rolling Stones will be coming to Fenway this summer to play a concert. It will be the Stones second appearance at Fenway. They played Opening Day in 1912 when the Sox hosted the New York Highlanders.
