    I don't understand why you don't atleast get Foulke up after the double for insurance.

      I'm not sure why they didnt have somebody up when they tied the game. No excuse for not having a reliever ready in that situation.

        Part of what I don't like too much about Francona: he doesn't get relief pitchers up until too late. It seems like this happens a lot.

        He could have had Foulke or Timlin warming up during the last inning in case the Sox grabbed the lead, then subbed them in. Then if it was tied or the Sox were still down he could have decided to stick with Clement. I just think you should always leave an option in there.

            That's the 2nd time I've seen them try that this year. Think it was Gonzalez the first time. Didn't Lowell pull it off last year?

              Damn, that little drag bunt almost caught him out of the box. I was hoping for the call but the ump got it right.

                Yep, late last year.

                And a couple years before that. He seems to have a knack for it I guess.

                  Everytime I think that fork in Lowell's back gets deeper... I see him bang one off the monster.

                    Lowell is wishing he played his whole career in Fenway.

                      That was bizarre. We're in the middle of seeing who sponsors the game and all of a sudden there's a shot off the wall. I thought it was a replay at first.

                          I never understood bunting to get a guy on 3rd when they know it's coming.

                            That's why the Sox don't bunt

                              YYOOOOOOUUUUUUKKKKKKKK. Great clutch hitting there. It's gonna be tough to move him down in the order when Crisp comes back. He's one of our best hitters right now.

                                This year's lineup is SO GOOD.

                                It's awesome to see Youks finally get his shot and to see him contribute in a huge way.
