RED SOX WIN 2-1!

After a tiring and discouraging losing streak with the Angels, it's good to be back on our way to the top. The Red Sox took home a win tonight, and an interesting one at that. Starting off the game was Tim Wakefield, knuckleball thrower, and Kevin Cash, catcher. Jed Lowrie, SS/3B, scored the only run so far in the game, leaving the score at 0-1 Red Sox for a long time. Then, a few innings later, a home run was scored for the Athletics, tieing the scoreboard at 1-1. The game continued on, past the 9th, 10th, and 11th innings, dragging on until 11:00 in the 12th. Making his first appearance as a Red Sox, Fenway Park welcomed Jason Bay to the lineup playing left field. It may take a while to get completely used to that Monster out there, but he seemed to be getting the hang of it. 2 outs, bottom of the twelfth, no one on base, Jason Bay comes up to bat, and knocks in an off-the-wall triple, leaving the fans on their feet. The pitcher and the catcher for Oakland decide to intentionally walk J.D. Drew, and Jed Lowrie comes up to bat. With the crowd holding their breath, Lowrie hits the ball, knocking it over the pitchers head and a little out of the defense's reach. Drew gets to 2nd, Lowrie gets to 1st, and Jason Bay, the newbie of the night, scores the winning run of this 12 inning game.
