Last night the long winning streak ended. Hopefully tonight is the start (and not the continuation) of another streak. I'd post the lineups after the jump, but really, I just saw them at the Globe's site and I don't want to make Sox fans throw up on their keyboards.

Is Lugo back on the DL yet?
Give Beckett some time RBF: they have waiting periods on firearms in Ohio.
Speaking of wanting to shoot someone, Lester is giving up hard-hit balls left and right.
Ellsbury fail.
Am I now reduced to just cheering against Toronto so we don’t lose ground?
So Lester’s just gonna get outs by walking people and eventually picking them off, huh?
rbf…not yet…this is the team that beat the Yankees down 6-0 and they have Carmona on the mound.
*looks at lineup*
Oh, wait.
(Though, nice ABs by the stand-ins last inning.)
Is this season going to be feast or famine? Sure seems like that’s the way it is shaping up.
Wakefield and Masterson are the aces of this team…just putting that out there.
Lester getting pounded. Walks and homers. 5-0. It isn’t gonna take a no-hitter to make you realize your potential again, is it Lester?
Sox get a bit closer, 5-2 after their half of the 6th (Bay walk, Lowell double, Tek double, all with 2 out). Carmona over 100 pitches.
Ortiz blows a major opportunity with 2 down and 2 on. No surprise Perez blew him away on 3 pitches.
That was cheap but we’ll take it.
Van Every up with the bases loaded and one down thanks to DeRosa’s error on Bailey’s double play ball.
Through the hole! 5-3 score.
Drew grounds to the right side, but no DP. 5-4.
Ellsbury with the clutch knock! It’s tied!
Cripes my son was talking VERY loud – what happened?
Tie fucking ballgame.
Stays tied as Pedroia grounds to 3rd. We head to the bottom of the 8th. Who will pitch? (Lopez pitched the 7th.)
Delcarmen/Okajima/Paps
What a catch Van Every!
Somebody is buying Van Every a steak after this game.
Manny has his game face on tonight.
Ortiz-Bay-Lowell in the 9th. Bring in Kerry Wood–Mr. Bay wants another piece of him.
Jonathan Van Every???? Seriously??? Jason Bay strikes out, David Ortiz strikes out, but Jonathan Van Every is the guy who says, “Oh, I’ll just go ahead and break this tie all by myself.” Wow.
Wow.
Papelbon nearly gave it back. He’s pitching now like he pitched last September, after which he acknowledged that his shoulder was seriously fatigued. This makes me worry. I certainly don’t have much confidence in him right now.
me neither Paul
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet victory. Very, very, very nice.
Papelbon strikes out Sizemore. Epic. We needed that win.
Very nice win. Good to keep pace with the Yankees and not give back half the lead in two games…
Van Emery will be telling his grandkids about this game in 2059.
Hey, that was the first road series they won! Super sweet.
