Jason Bay leads off against David Price.

Update: I thought Bay swung at the 2-2 pitch. He swung as much as Drew did the previous inning. The count is now 3-2.

Update: Bay walks to bring up Kotsay. The tying run is now at the plate.

Update: Kotsay falls behind 0-2, then evens the count. Price catches him looking, however, at a pitch on the outside corner for Price's second K.

Update: Price is doing a good job getting ahead of hitters. He gets ahead of Varitek 1-2, then strikes him out swinging on a 2-2 pitch. One out to go!

Update: Lowrie pinch hits and grounds out to Iwamura unassisted as he goes for the force at second. The Rays win 3-1 and are going to the World Series!

a great series, a privilege to watch, and the better team won. but i'll look forward to a rematch next year, and like a healthy sox' team's chances.

Can someone explain to me why don't pinch hit for Varitek there?

You can't pinch hit for the captain. You need the team leader at the plate in those kinds of situations

Or in the 7th - Tek just can't get his bat on the ball with guys on base anymore - I guess they got Sean Casey to sit on the bench in big situations
