Jacoby Ellsbury singled, stole second, and scored on a single from Kevin Youkilis to give the Sox a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. It's Jered Weaver and Clay Buccholz, and the hits are coming early and often. Comment away.

Buchholz looks awful.
I wonder if Tek can get a hit. He just missed two hangers. It does look like Tek should use a much lighter bat.
Carl, don’t get picked.
Wow, Weaver just got hosed on a 2-2 pitch to Tek. Strike by a mile.
And Tek walks. That was totally lucky, Tek should be on the bench now with two down.
Just a single, Jacoby…
Wish Carl could steal third here and then score on an out…
The walk to Tek has certainly helped in quickening Weaver’s eventual exit – up to 90 pitches now. Jacoby at 2-2.
Full count to Ells.
Ellsbury swings at ball four and taps to short. Crawford to third, Ells at first. Double steal ju-jitsu lookout!
Come on Pedey.
A hanger to Pedey and he almost comes out of his shoes, fouls it back. Not a good looking swing from DP. 2-2 count, Weaver to 98 pitches with this one.
a couple more fouled off, Weaver about to throw his 100th. So there’s that, even if the Sox don’t score.
.108 for Varitek, that’s terrible. Another great at bat by Pedroia.
monster at-bat here, either the 10th or 11th pitch to Pedey.
and now 12.
What is more likely to happen first: the Sox get to .500 or the Bruins score on the power play?
Epic from Pedey.
Pedey with the single, 3-2 Sox!
What an AWESOME at-bat. 14 pitches I believe.
He could get weaver out if the game.
corrected – 13 pitches.
Nice what a stud
And then amazingly Gonzo swings at the first pitch, tries to pull it, and taps weakly to second. THAT was a bad at-bat.
But a great inning, made possible by an awful umpiring call on Tek. Thanks, Blue!
Clay determined to fall behind every hitter.
Leadoff double.
Go get him, Tito. He’s awful.
Tito determined to fall behind every team.
Jesus, what a risky play by Gonzo – he fields a hot grounder and fires to third, in the dirt, and Youk digs it out to get the lead runner. A huge play but that was all risk/reward, and the downside was enormous. Yikes.
so, this is why I am not a manager. Buchholz bears down and gets a couple of grounders to end the inning. Huge assist to Youk for digging out Gonzo’s throw. To the bottom of the sixth, 3-2 Sox.
Maybe ortiz should lead off with all the singles he has been hitting. Yes I am kidding.
FLOOD GATES OPENED!!!
Beautiful boys, great running by Pedroia. Exciting stuff!
Gonzales with the wall ball, Pedoria running behind Jacoby gets in, like Wesley Snipes in Major League!
And Papi with the monster seat Jack
Boom.
…goes the dynamite, as the kids say today
And Youk proves the long held theory that white men can not, in fact, jump
Dan Wheeler determined to keep it a close game.
Didn’t think we would see paplebon tonight, but after Wells shot into the Monster seats we may need him
Holy crap keep Dan Wheeler from any game that is close than 7 runs. He is throwing BP!
Wheeler is back out for more and gives up a quick base hit
Oki making this one last longer than it should
And the B’s win as well
Nice thing about having MLB Extra Innings is I can flip over to the dodgers game after the Sox win and listen to the golden pipes of Vin Scully call the game without a “color analyst”
