David Wells Has Really Bad Luck

So David Wells made his return last night, and he was doing a pretty good job (only gave up one run), and then...it happened. He got hit. He got hit in the same previously injured knee in the 5th inning and left the game. It doesn't seem fair, to be on the DL for so long then get injured in your very first game back. No, it's really not fair. Worst luck ever. OH GOD MORE DINARDO!! Please be okay, Wells! They're saying it's a deep contusion of the right knee, doesn't appear to be major damage. I hope he will pitch again soon, because DiNardo is almost a guaranteed loss.

David Ortiz hit a 3-run double that came about 8 feet away from going over the wall. That's the David Ortiz we know and love.

Mike Lowell hit his first Fenway homerun as a Bostonian. Put us up 5-1. We sure did get a lot more than we expected with Lowell. He also hit his league-leading 22nd double and scored on a Trot Nixon single.

Tavarez came in and gave up 2 runs, he did fine. But when Foulke came in, I heard a "Way back! Way back! That ball is....foul! That was too close for comfort." Then he struck him out, so it was all good.

Gabe Kapler is working his way back. Don't be suprised if you see him soon.

Papelbon came in to get Seanez out of trouble and got his 17th save in the process.

And the Yankees lost to the worst team in baseball. The Royals snapped a 13-game losing streak with the win.
