Hot bat on ball action

Yes, the Sox came to play last night. And Scott Kazmir didn't show up to pitch.

It was an amazing game. Kaz walked the first two batters on eight straight pitches - the Big Papi planted one in right field. Two batters later, Mikey Lowell parked one in left - and that was pretty much the game. Kazmir gave up 6 hits in 4 innings - but four of those where home runs. The Sox went on to win 13-5 - an awesome game for every Red Sox fan. And quite reminiscent of most of our games at the Trop - up until this year. It was our first victory at the Trop since we clinched the Wild Card last September - that has to mean something, right?

Commander Beckett takes the mound tonight. I just hope we saved some runs for the next two games....

Oh, and last night's attendance was 29,772 - and it sure sounded like there many, many Red Sox fans there!
