What’s better than an eighth straight loss on the road? That’s right Einstein, a win!

Both King Felix and the pitcher who eats like a King, Bartolo Colon, were dealing for 7 innings. Combined they had pitched 14 innings, 2 runs, and allowed only 7 hits. Luckily for the Sox and Julio Lugo (who can’t even get a freaking sac bunt down properly), King Felix fell apart with 2 outs in the eighth and gave up four runs before being pulled. Eventually Paps closed it down, but not before trying desperately to help keep the road losing streak alive.

Ichiro also made one of the year’s best “web gems” robbing Tek of a double in the 5th. Somehow Ichiro caught the ball with back to the plate a la Willy Mays, and then immediately ran into the outfield wall. As he fell backwards he transfered the ball from his glove to his barehand to secure the ball before hitting the ground. Oh, and the wall almost broke from the impact. I think it was payback for Tek wearing camo catcher’s gear.

But when road wins are about as scarce as disgustingly awful camo chest protector, you take any win you can get.
