IMPORTANT WIN FOR SOX

After dumping a double header, the Sox needed to win last night's game.

Baltimore Orioles 4
Boston Red Sox 6
W: Embree (4-1)
L: Driskill (3-5)
S: Kim (9)

Wrapup & Box Score
Divisional Magic #: 51
Wild Card Magic #: 46

Oakland won, New York lost.

A few interesting things about this game. Manny Ramirez became the fastest Red Soxer to hit 100 HRs in a Red Sox uniform, passing Jimmie Foxx. Also, Kevin Millar hit the 10,000th homerun at Fenway Park. Didn't someone last year hit the 10,000th or 9,000th HR in Red Sox history?

The Man of the Game is Manny Ramirez who hit his 100th HR snapping a long drought and also got on base late which allowed Jackson to score in his stead. He went 2 for 4. Here are the MOTG standings after 46 awarded:

1. Nomar - 6
2. PEDRO - 5
3. Varitek - 4
4. Manny, Mueller, Nixon, Millar - 3
8. R. Halladay (TOR) - 2
9. Ortiz, Burkett, Lowe, Walker, Kapler, Burkett, Sanchez, Rupe, Lyon, D. Rolls (TB) M. Mussina (NYY), A. Pettitte (NYY) J. Crede (CWS), E. Loiza (CWS), JD Drew (StL), B. Myers (PHI), J. Pierre (FLA) - 1

I updated my web-site with some Theo Epstein, Natalie Portman, and Kobe Bryant content along with a gratuitous Olsen Twins pic. I also updated my other pages on the site.
