Unbelieveable

What an incredible comeback! The Red Sox were down 5-0 going into the bottom of the ninth, and came back! They won 6-5 on an error - the pitcher, Chris Ray, missed a toss by Millar at 1st to get Lugo, and two runs scored. It was sooo exciting! I was just jumping up and down and screaming at the tv - the poor cat nearly had a heart attack (as did I!). This kind of game is why I love this team so much. They never gave up - and neither did the fans. In how many other stadiums would you see the house still full in this situation?? Everyone standing and cheering? Simply awesome.

The only down side is the injury to Josh Beckett. He left the game in the fourth with an "avulsion" - basically a tear of the skin on the middle finger of his pitching hand. Tito says they'll let it "dry out" for a day or two and then see if he needs to skip a start.

And the comeback in the game took him off the hook for the loss - gets a no decision instead. Phew.

And for sheer cuteness, check out Papi and his son D'Angelo:
