CF Crisp faces Balfour and has a leadoff walk.
Manager Joe Maddon, probably this year’s manager of the year has just taken out Balfour, replaced by Chad Bradford, the knuckelscrapping submarine pitcher to face 2B Pedroia.
2B Pedroia faces Bradford with Crisp on 1B without any outs. Will Crisp take off to remove the possible DP? Pedroia is 4 for 6 against Bradford and hits it off Bradford who knocked the ball down and throws out Pedroia. Crisp advances to 2B.
They are walking David Ortiz. Men on first and second with 1 out.
3B Kevin Youkilis is up. He has 2 RBIs on the night, but hits into a 5-4-3 Double Play to end the inning.

Manny On Red Sox Loss: "Good"
Well, I have to say it, don't I?
*Sigh*
Manny being Manny.
Last night, when asked by the omnipresent eyes of TMZ if he'd watched the ALCS game 7, he quickly responded, "No." But when he was told that they lost, he had some more troubling words: "Good, Good."
Now this can be taken a number of ways, So I'll take it both ways I can.
Holy crap.
I failed miserably at picking a title for this post. But can you blame me?
With more than a handful of heroes worthy of a shout out and euphoria still flowing throw my veins, it's nearly impossible to sum up last night's comeback with a 5 to 8 word statement.
I'll admit this much however... this...

Caray was screaming like a banshee as Kevin Youkilis' solo homer sailed over the wall to tie the game 1-1... in the second inning.
I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait to listen to Joe Buck instead of this clown.Check out more from Tony Arnoldine at http://tixytixy.blogspot.com

Ortiz out, Teixeira in ??
The Red Sox could use Teixeira's bat, but they don't have an open spot in the lineup... would you trade David Ortiz?
When The Lights Go Out In Atlanta, GA
Due to a power outage (router failure, whatever it was) in freaking Atlanta, GA., the first inning of a somewhat important baseball game in St. Petersburg, Florida couldn't be seen on national TV.
The problem was "quickly corrected" a?" just in time to see Kevin Youkilis lead-off the 2nd inning with a game tying HR.

TERRE HAUTE, IN — Local consultant John DeWitte was just sitting around on Thursday night, catching a little baseball while his wife Stephanie napped on the couch next to him. By all measures, the evening was progressing like a normal Thursday would, when all of a sudden, things took a turn for the weird.

One more... winnner takes all
"There's nowhere to run."
"We've been in there before," said David Ortiz. We know what it takes to win games. It's not easy. It's not like we like to be in that situation. I guess that's the way our destiny has been the past few years that we have won the World Series."

I got to turn this one on in the fifth, just before the Rays' David Bartlett hit just his third home run of the year to tie it up against the exceptionally shaky Josh Beckett. In the next inning, Not So Big Game James Shields gave the game back to the dead man wearing Jason Varitek's jersey, and another single after that. After a pitching change, Bartlett made a bad error...

In comes the Boston closer, Jonathan Papelbon with his patented stare.
First up is the scary rookie 3B Evan Longoria. This is the biggest at bat of the inning in my opinion. Longoria grounds out to SS Jed Lowrie. 1 out!
Boston is 2 outs away from forcing a 7th game once again!
CF Carl Crawford is up with 1 out and just swung at a ball for strike two. The Rays hitters have seemed...
