7 innings pitched 3 hits and 2 runs......
Not a bad night..... especially because those two runs should have been charged to J.D. Drew.
Okajima gets the save..... where is Pap in that situation.... He was available, the Yankees were losing.... Isn't that what we have him for. Overall very happy to have Beckett back, especially with that nasty curveball.
Varitek goes deep well over the monster. He always hits better from the right side. Youkilis at 21 games in this hit streak and he adds his 8th homerun tying him with Manny. Youk better be an all star selection even though he will be as a reserve because Big Papi deserve's to start.
Pedroia is growing on me and I hate to say that. I would like to thank everyone for reminding me that he is hitting better than Lugo and Coco by almost seventy points. Guess he does deserve that spot.... maybe Cora could play short.
Overall a great game. Byrd vs. Dice-K tomorrow so hopefully more of the same even though Byrd has looked great all year.
Please tell me Ortiz is in the lineup.... please god??? Please????
Trot did not get a hit tonight which is ok with me. Love ya but we have to win a division.
Yankees are 14.5 games back and I am sleeping well.

I'd say it was a pretty good night. No Pap, but I think they're going easy on him (would have been his 4th appearance in 5 days, plus he threw 23 pitches Monday) with such a big lead in the East. Better to have him throwing 98 in October, when we really need him.
Beckett=Ridiculous. Enough said.
Okajima has been amazing too. And it's a good thing with Timlin struggling in Pawtucket.
Youk=Ridiculous, and he better freakin' get on that All-Star team. He's batting .358, and I don't think he's made an error since July!
And Tito said Papi will be playing tonight, so no worries Chris!
I'd say more, but I have to got to bed now, but before I do...
Clemens = $28,000,0000
Youk + Papelbon < $1,000,000
Yankees 14 1/2 back = priceless
