St. Louis Cardinals 9
Boston Crappy Pitchers 7

Here is the box score and the story from redsox.com

WOW! Can you imagine being one of the Red Sox position players and coming back from behind only to watch Brandon Lyon blow it in the top of the 9th? It must be a very dejected feeling. This team needs releif pitching and it needs it fast. Heck, it needs starting pitching almost as much. Now, I'm not one of those morons out there thinking that if we had a closer we'd be fine. We need 6 or 7 bullpen guys that we can rely upon, not just one. Anyhow, the Man of the Game goes to JD Drew. This was a tough one to pick for but Drew's 3 run homer was the difference in the game. Here are the MOTG standings...

1. Kevin "Moose" Millarthra - 2
2. "Get Your" Trot "Here" Nixon - 1
3. J.D. Drew (StL) - 1

Speaking of releif pitching, remember a man by the name of Javier Lopez? He was with the club in spring training and we traded him. I guess to make room for Matt White. Anyway, here's a link to his stats. To give the old Bob Lobell joke...why can't we get guys like that?

Just a little observation about NESN's replay. Every night, it is a 2 hour edited version of the game. But sometimes, there's more than 2 hours of innings in which there is some action. It's very poorly put together on occasion. Tonight, for example, the game instantaneously went from a 2-0 Red Sox lead with Kim on the mound in the 1st to a 4-2 Cardinals lead with Seanez on the mound in the 7th. What the hell?

This morning, I'll write some of my thoughts on the 1967 Impossible Dream season and it's effect on Red sox Nation.

By the way, the Y*nkees beat Houston 5-3.
