Good Friday: Mega Gamer (Sox-Angels and Yanks-Orioles)

• Sox line-up tonight, courtesy of Sean McAdam Tweet: Ellsbury CF; Pedroia 2B; Gonzalez 1B; Ortiz DH; Lowrie 3B; Drew RF; Crawford LF; Saltalamacchia C; Scutaro SS; Lester SP
  Why not switch Carl and JD?

• Yanks game already rained out. Blah

  IronHorse (YF) April 22, 2011, 6:42 pm

• So no Youk? Regular day off or serious injury?

  pale blue eyes April 22, 2011, 6:52 pm

• We’re racking up the rainouts, eh?

  DustyDrB - YF April 22, 2011, 9:05 pm

• Lester Ks the side in the first on 13 pitches.
  I hope Lester has a great start if for no other reason than this ridiculous catcher ERA comparison between Saltalamacchia and Varitek will stop.

  Paul SF April 22, 2011, 10:21 pm

• Youks is out for precautionary reasons, but the injury isn’t serious, and according to Obie, he could pinch-hit tonight and is expected to start tomorrow.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 10:22 pm

• Haren needs 25 pitches to get six outs.
  This could be a very quick pitchers’ duel.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 10:26 pm

• Rondo with 20 assists tonight. When he’s at 12+ assists, that’s when the Celtics are unbeatable.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 10:33 pm

• Holy cow.
  First run: Salty w/ 1-out double, Scutaro flyout, Salty to third, Ells RBI double.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 10:48 pm

• Scioscia then went to the mound and apparently chewed out Haren.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 10:49 pm

• Scioscia apparently trying to get tossed.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 11:05 pm

• Abreau F8, to end a 2nd/3rd threat, but Lester already at 65 pitches through 3.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 11:08 pm

• Bourjos steals a double from Gonzo. That kid can really go get ’em.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 11:11 pm

• God got even with Bourjos. Crawford with a shoulda-beena F8, Bourjos drops it with Hunter, Kendrick converging. 2 runs score. E8. No RBI. 3-0.
  Love to see Carl steal here.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 22, 2011, 11:23 pm

• Worked Haren that inning.
  I am about to snooze though…

  SF April 22, 2011, 11:29 pm

• Lester now at 99 pitches, but he’s been good. 0 R, 4H through 5. Probably only 6 from Lester tonight. And pen was taxed last night.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:00 am

• Jed triples leading off the 6th.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:03 am

• Check that. Double, E7.
  JD up.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:04 am

• RBI single for JD. 4-0.
  Here’s Carl.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:05 am

• Lester could go two more if he gets quick outs, but I fully expect the 6th to be his last.

  Devine April 23, 2011, 12:11 am

• I doubt we’ll get one more from Lester. But we’ll see.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:16 am

• Reports of tornado damage at St. louis Lambert Int Airport tonight.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:17 am

• Love to see Gonzo go deep here.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:21 am

• Nope. A K.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:22 am

• Albers is on for Lester.

  I'mBillMcNeal April 23, 2011, 12:28 am

• Pap warming up to go in for his 3rd night in a row. He was good but not great last night. A little worried with a one-run lead.

  Devine April 23, 2011, 1:15 am

• 1 down on the fly to center.

  Devine April 23, 2011, 1:19 am

• Single, then flyout. Kendrick up (again, as in like last night) with the game on the line.

  Devine April 23, 2011, 1:23 am

• Wow, I really prefer it when Papelbon strikes out guys on 3 pitches instead of 9.
  WIN!
