Nice to see things getting back to normal. Papi goes deep (#46) to give the Sox a 1-0 lead. Beckett then gives it right back with another tape measure shot…sorry, what? You say Beckett pitched like an ace and held the Angels scoreless over 6 innings? I don’t believe it.

Oh, ok, then Timlin shit the bed in the 7th giving up the lead…really? Timlin managed to get out of the jam in the 7th? Great play by Wily Mo throwing out a runner at home and Belli deking the runner?

At least PBR shut the door for the save, right? Whew, I got something right.

Normally when your newest $30M contract leaves the mound in the 7th with an injury (cut on his middle fingers, AKA, blisters), you’re worried. At this point in the season, I’m just happy for the win. It’s also nice to hand Jered Weaver the first loss of his career.

Let’s see Schilling match Beckett tonight. I know they’re in bad shape, but for some reason I just can’t stop watching. Proof that the Red Sox really are as addictive as crack.
