SOX OUTCLASSED


There are some games in which you're beaten and there are some games in which you are really beaten. This was one of those second games.

The Indians scored 3 in the 1st inning off a homerun that came after a walk and an infield single. That was all they needed, but it wouldn't be all that they got.

Pena hit a solo homerun after Mike Lowell grounded into a double play in the 4th.

Victor Martinez got the run back in the bottom half of the inning. He reached on a walk, stole second, got to 3rd on a single, and scored on a passed ball.

In the 6th, Martinez came around to score again thanks to an Aaron F Boone double. The Indians got 2 more off Manny Delcarmen in his first MLB outing of the season.

All and all, a pretty poor night for the Red Sox.

The Man of the Game is Cliff Lee who went 6 innings allowing a sole earned run. He pitched around 4 hits and 4 walks with the help of 2 double play balls, and 7 strikeouts.

Here is the B*tch-Goat:
Wakefield: 0.5 - 5.2 IP, 5 R, 3 ER
Bard: 0.2 - 4 passed balls, 1 for 3
Youkilis: 0.1 - 0 for 4, K
Ortiz: 0.1 - 0 for 3, 2 K, 4 LOB
Lowell: 0.1 - 0 for 4, 3 LOB, GIDP

Beckett against Paul Byrd tomorrow night in the rubber game. I'm too bitter right now.

34 days until Roger Clemens is available to pitch (June 1).
