The Boys of Summer return - Baseball is here again

DamoNorthStand

Two out. Bases loaded. Victorino up.

DamoNorthStand

3 nothing Sox!!!!!!!

DamoNorthStand

Massive 4th from Lackey. Cards had two on with 2 out after a rare error from golden glove winner Pedroia. But JL strikes out Freese.

DamoNorthStand

Home run Stephen Drew!!!!!!! 4!!!!

lordromford

I'm away at the mo and having to follow this with Gameday tonight. Not fecking happy that I can't watch on 'Virgin Anywhere'. Anywhere my arse.
Good to see we've got an early lead.
Come on you Red Sox!

lordromford

DREW! AT LAST! Good man, I was hoping he'd get one this series! 4-0 sox.

DamoNorthStand

Red Sox have two on bottom of the 4th. Napoli up. Young Wacha is pulled by Matheny. Guy looks distraught. Shouldn't take away what a great post season he has had. And this aint over!

lordromford

Wacha lasted less than 4 innings. Lynn in.

DamoNorthStand

Base hit by Napoli. We r 5 up.

DamoNorthStand

Bases loaded again. Victorino up again!

DamoNorthStand

Base hit. 6 up!

lordromford

And Lynn is replaced without getting an out. Maness in. Cards pitching has gone tonight.

DamoNorthStand

Excellent. Glad I am with another on here Lord!!

DamoNorthStand

Hmmm. Bit sticky top of the 5th. One out. Men on 1st and 2nd. Beltran up...

DamoNorthStand

Beltran lines out to Vic but Jay goes to third. Will take that. Holliday up though. ..

DamoNorthStand

Popped up. Innings closed. No damage!

lordromford

Seems to me that Lackey's experience is winning this. Repeatedly getting out of innings with two on, while Wacha (plus Lynn) gave up runs.
I've only got Gameday and not watching though, so I'm not seeing the whole story.

DamoNorthStand

Great play by Pedroia. Two out. Top of 6th.

DamoNorthStand

Lackey strikes him out. Going in to the bottom of the 6th and Ortiz up first. Maybe we will see him swing a bat now!

lordromford

Here's hoping!

DamoNorthStand

Ortiz strikes out swinging for only the third time in 73 at bats!

DamoNorthStand

Now I feel sick. Bases loaded, Craig up. 6-1 game. Two out.

lordromford

Is Lackey looking spent? I'm guessing so as he's given up a run and loaded the bases in the 7th.
Ah. I see Taz is on. If he can get Lackey out of this inning it'll be a great nights work for him.

lordromford

We'll done Taz and well done Lackey. Good work. Now just need the closers to get these last 6 outs without much fuss...

DamoNorthStand

Yeah. Farrell left it 1 out too long. But we got away with minimal damage then.

lordromford

Must admit it worried me that he walked Holliday to load the bases with Craig on deck!

DamoNorthStand

Now top of the 8th. Massive innings. Breslow terrifies me and Workman is more unknown. If this is tidy it gives Koji the bottom order.

DamoNorthStand

4 outs away.

DamoNorthStand

3.

lordromford

Tidy inning from Workman. 9 pitches. Over to you, Koji...
