 Your humble scribe was privileged to sit through the chilly comeback at Fenway last night. Despite the Olde Towne Team falling behind 6-0 in the sixth inning, most fans who had managed to get there stayed. And it was well worth it!
Your humble scribe was privileged to sit through the chilly comeback at Fenway last night. Despite the Olde Towne Team falling behind 6-0 in the sixth inning, most fans who had managed to get there stayed. And it was well worth it!After smacking the O's bullpen for 5 runs in the bottom of the sixth, Alfredo Aceves gave one right back on a monstrous HR by Mark 'So What If I Strike Out Over 200 Times' Reynolds. Undaunted, Jason Varitek got that run back (his second RBI on the night), and the Sox faced a one-run deficit in the 9th. The O's 'closer' Kevin Gregg then walked both Ellsbury and Pedroia with one out, and A-Gon swiped his first pitch slider high off the Monster. Both runners scored and, with the resulting 8-7 win, the Sox moved over .500 for the first time this year.
