Now for a 6 Game Winning Streak
Ortiz started things off right with a 2-run homer in the 1st, and Wily Mo Pena followed that up with his own 2-run shot in the next inning. That plus a Coco Crisp RBI-single put the score at 5-1 going into the 3rd. Bases were loaded for the Angels, and after a very long at-bat, Juan Rivera hit a single to bring 2 runs in.
Well, I fell asleep from the 4th to the 7th, when the loud yell of the announcer woke me up. Mike Timlin had just gotten a close strikeout call and he ended the 7th with the Sox up 5-4. I guess that's the dangerous part about MLB.TV -- watching TV in bed + 5 hours of sleep the night before = missing part of the game. At least the Sox were winning when I woke up (though LA had one more run, courtesy of Tavarez). You do not want to upset Timlin, or fear this:
Foulke pitched the 8th, did a pretty nice job and got the first 2 outs with a runner at 3rd before being taken out in favor of Papelbon. It was imperative that I stay awake to see the end of the game, despite my throbbing headache and heavy eyelids! Cabrera struck out and sleep was another out closer to coming.
I woke up again at 3:40 and realized I fell asleep AGAIN and missed the bottom of the 9th. Yeah, I was pretty mad at myself. But the good news is, Papelbon got through it and the Sox earned their first win in what seems like forever!
Manny left early with a sore knee. I was wondering why he didn't try too hard to get that ball...anyway, it's not 100% that he'll be back in the lineup tomorrow, and they will definitely need him -- Jered Weaver (9-0, 1.95 ERA) will be pitching tomorrow. Can they hand him his first loss?
LLWS: Go Oregon! Why do I always root for teams from that state? Anyway, they were down 2-0 in the 4th and came back in the 6th to go up 4-2 and eventually win (4-3). Gotta give it up for Sam Albert, he was awesome last night and scored on a really close play at the plate. I noticed that 93% of the kids in LL have the same haircut, though. The best part was when the pitcher hit someone in the head and went over to shake his hand and apologize. That is SO cute.
