Now THAT is a teeth grinder!

The Red Sox got great relief pitching...
Clutch hits...
Lugo gets FIVE HITS!

An amazing play at the plate to end an Angels threat...

And it seemed like the Red Sox had the bases loaded every inning.

And somehow they lost.

Actually it wasn't hard to figure out.
Big Papi went 0-7 stranding 12 runners.

Read that sentence again.

Folks, it might be time to drop him in the line up
It's early, but it isn't THAT early.

Let's update the board.

DODGED A BULLET GAMES - 5

April 17 - 10-8 win against Orioles. (Overcame 7-0 deficit.)

April 24 - 5-4 win against Yankees. (Bay homers off of Rivera in 9th to tie it.)

April 29 - 6-5 win at Cleveland. (Overcame 5-0 deficit.)

May 12 - 4-3 win at Anaheim. (Down 3-1 in the 8th.)

TEETH GRINDER GAMES - 3

April 14 - 6-5 loss at Oakland. (Sox blow early 3-0 lead. Lose in 12)

April 28 - 9-8 loss at Cleveland. (Sox blow early 5-1 lead. Lopez drops 3rd out.)

Some birthday present.
