Beckett Can't Stop The Slide...Sox Lose Again
Josh Beckett did not pitch well yesterday and now the Sox find themselves in the middle of a losing streak. In a game that looked very similar to the one before, Beckett gave up runs early and the Red Sox could not make up the difference. Beckett was tagged for 11 hits and 5 runs but once again the bullpen pitched well. Offensively Boston could not get the big hit and left too many people on base. Manny came up in the 7th with bases loaded an no outs and after a 10 pitch at bat he hit into a 1-2-3 double play. Lowell followed with an out to end the inning...no runs scored. Bench coach Brad Mills had to make an interesting choice when J.D. Drew got hurt once again and put Youk in right for the first time in his career. Boston tries to get a win streak going at 3 pm eastern today against fireballer and often wild pitcher Cabrera in Baltimore.
Sox lose 5-4 BOX SCORE

Two nights in a row they jump out to a 3-0 lead only to lose! Wonder what they'll do if Drew needs time off, and Crisp is still ill? Brandon Moss is not available. Can Wakefield play outfield? I've seen Timlin make nice catches of HR's in the Fenway bullpen - maybe he can play right - sure has a good throwing arm?
Who's in right in Pawtucket?
No, wait a minute, Who's on first...
Wait a minute - I just remembered - Bobby Kielty is in Pawtucket - I bet he comes up!
Bailey is, he hit a HR last night. I think they should bring up Van Every.
Bobby Kielty is out, recovering from surgery.
Wow - I had not heard that - Thanks! He would have been the ovious choice - I just had not heard him mentioned in a while.
Think they'll go back to Thurston? He has not hit, but is okay fielding.
