So far, it's 2-1 through 4 and a half. Nice inning

First two (Snow, then Bard) got on with singles, Gonzalez bunts them both over a base for an out, then Stern gets a hit to drive in Snow. 1st and 3rd, Loretta lines out to Gomez, who then tries to double up Stern at first. He makes a horrible throw that hits off Stern and sends Kentucky Fried Kevin off to find the ball, scoring a second run

[Fishercat]

It's kind of weird to see a team winning (in the first few games), sometimes, on pitching and defense.

[Fishercat]

Nixon and Snow on base, Snow walks after a ball that should've been strike 3.

[Fishercat]

Millar bobbles a ground ball he got on a dive, one more run in, Stern's speed may have made that point moot.

[Fishercat]

Lopez is getting squeezed today, man.

[Fishercat]

Loretta with the single, 4-1, with Big Papi coming up

[Fishercat]

Hernandez is owning everyone. 11-15 this season

[Fishercat]

Gibbons on 2nd after a 2 out single and passed ball on Bard (although it was a strange pitch by Timlin)

[Fishercat]

Now Millar walked, and the absurdly hot Hernandez is up as the tying run

[Fishercat]

And Timlin gets out of it

[Fishercat]

Foulke's on the mound in his first game with any potential for the Sox to be caught.

[Bosox21]

Wish I could watch this, Hopefully Foulke holds on

[Fishercat]

Foulke got Roberts out, now working on Patterson

[Fishercat]

And Patterson goes down to Foulke, 2nd K of the inning
