Top 1st

Lugo strikes out looking to start it, nice pitching by Wang.

[browntown653]

Kevin Youkilis grounds out weakly to Cano, 2 away.

[browntown653]

Wang looked like he wanted no part of Ortiz there. Walk on 5 pitches.

[browntown653]

Ugh, Manny grounds a single up the middle. 2 on for JD Drew.

[browntown653]

Wang dodges a bullet there, ran the count to 3-1 on DL Drew but got a routine grounder to 2nd.

Be back in a few.

[browntown653]

Thanks Hammer...how was that A-Rod HR? Sterling was blathering over it of course.

[Hammer]

mirabelli singles past arod on a 3-1 count

Thanks Hammer...how was that A-Rod HR? Sterling was blathering over it of course.

an absolute bomb... wakefield hung a knuckle high in the zone, and he just jumped on it. first pitch, and it was a no doubter off the bat. theyll replay it a hundred times im sure.

[browntown653]

Cora with another single, why does he always get hits against us?

[Hammer]

rough call on the error to jeter, it wouldve been tough to get lugo on a high chopper like that anyway. bases loaded 2 outs for youkilis
