How Many Times Do We Get To Play Tampa?

SOX TRUMP DEVIL DOGS 14-4

Millar makes his best argument for staying in the line up: A four hit four RBI night.

I made a mistake" and had a "great" talk with Francona, Millar said. "The people in this clubhouse know that I'm not selfish. I want to contribute and help this team win."

One could have only dreamed of a four game sweep of Tampa, but 3 out of four isnt't that bad. Tampa has played well this year except against teams that mater, like the Red Sox and the Yankees.

The clubs are good that we're playing," Tampa Bay manager Lou Piniella said. "We have young pitching and they have veteran hitters. That's a bad combination."

D-Lowe pitched 5.3 innings and gave up 3 earned runs, so his ERA wasn't done any favors, but he did register his tenth win of the season. Which is a lot more than more 5+ ERA pitchers can say. Lowe left the game early because of a blister on his thumb.

We can talk about the thumb until the cows come home, but we won," said Lowe, who has been plagued by such blisters this year. "Their pitcher was having a phenomenal year and to score that many runs off him should get everyone confident."

Pedro takes the mound for the olde town team on Thursday at 1pm.
