Yanks-RS Round Two

Globe photo by Matthew Lee
So, if Friday night's game looked like target practice (five hit batsmen), Saturday's game looked like a football match. And Mike Lowell was at the center of two plays. In the photo above, he's taking out Robinson Cano, who was trying to turn a double play. And later, in the seventh, he collided with Doug Mientk (well, you know, the guy with the long name who kept a certain baseball) as he tried to beat out a fielder's choice. "Eyechart" (as he was known in Boston in '04), had to be carted off to the hospital - he looked dazed, confused and injured. Yikes - very scary.

But Mikey was also a key offensive player - had a homerun and four RBIs. Yeah! And the Sox bounced back from Friday night's loss to win 11-6 - mostly due to a 5-run 7th.

One of my buddies - who doesn't follow any sports, let alone baseball - told me today, "Boy, that was an exciting game. I watched part of it"! Yes, the Red Sox will convert all....
