Rare Walk
With one out in the 11th, Mark Teixeira draws a walk from Papelbon. Vlad follows with a single up the middle. Men on first and second, one out.
Update: Hunter flies out to right, bringing up Gary Matthews.
Update: Matthews strikes out to end the top of the 11th.
Update: Jered Weaver comes in to pitch for the duration, I'm guessing.
Update: Weaver strikes out Kotsay as the Red Sox burn their second catcher. Crisp singles to center, however, and represents the winning run.
Update: Ellsbury strikes out. Two down for the hitless Pedroia.
Update: Crisp steals second. A single may win the game.
Update: Dustin hits a rocket right at Figgins. He throws Pedroia out at first, and the game goes to the twelfth inning.
Sean Casey is the only man left on the Boston Bench - it wil lget awful lonely there if this goes much longer
Wow. Ellsbury got jobbed on that call.
and then lopez doesn't get the same pitch; the guy hits, scores. weak.
I hate when guys get called out and then complain to the umps. Everyone knows that MLB umps love to call guys out on strikes in big situations and they expand the strike zone. You can't go down with the bat on your shoulder. That pitch was outside but you have to protect the plate.
