Oh, How Sweet It Is!
Hey NY! How does it feel now? Your umpteen bazillion dollar man that you 'stole' from the Sox just went 0-5, including the final out of the game! BWAAHAAHAA!!! I can't wait for the NY covers tomorrow!
The Sox have now won all 8 games played against the Yankees this year, besting the previous mark of 7 set back in 1912, a year coincidentally that the Sox won the World Series.
Brad Penny turned in 6 strong innings, allowing 6 hits and 1 BB while notching 5 K's. Unfortunately for him, Sabfathia was just a bit stronger. He had a 4 hitter going into the 8th inning. Joe Girardi pulled a GL and left him in there 1 pitch too many, though, as the Sox put up 3 more runs that inning. Those 3 runs and the Papi tater in the 2nd were just enough. Yes, Papi hit another HR, so he's not quite dead yet! This is why slump or no, David Ortiz is Big Papi!
Manny Delcarmen had a rare blown save, his 1st of this season, but Saito came in and did his job and got the win while setting up for Papelbon in the 9th who had a 1-2-3 inning notching his 16th save.
Oh this feels so good right now!

HUGE win for the Red Sox! So many great contributions; Baldelli and Greens's D, Pedroia's long AB, Paps best outing....the list goes on and on.
I forgot to mention the 'inside cheese with hair' or some such nonsense that Eck may have uttered back in the 1st when Penny came inside, then plunked A-Rod. Warnings ensued, CC could not retaliate. (It is suspected that Penny may have issued payback for Bay getting plunked the other day.)
QQPS! Ken Rosenthal will be after me for ‘speculating.’
