It was pure Red Sox baseball. The Sox pulled ahead early. Gave up the lead in the middle and were on the verge of coming back in the ninth. Manny was at the plate, looking to just be Manny. There was one out, runners on 1st and 2nd, hitters count and Manny hit an infield pop up. It took two pitches to get Mikey Lowell and the rest was history.

As much as it sucks that the Red Sox lost and are no longer in 1st place, I will say, this is way MLB is so exciting throughout the season. You never know what's going to happen. Last week on Wicked Pissa Dude Radio we were fired up that the Sox were in 1st place and one week later, on the verge of another Wicked Pissa Dude Radio show, the Sox are now 1 game back and the battle for first begins.

I imagine that Seattle will treat the BoSox slightly better then the City of Angels did, but who knows. With Papi on the verge of coming back to the line-up and Lowrie filling in pretty nicely for Lugo, the Sox will be fine. It just would have been nice for them to be able to split this weekend series with the Angels, but such is not the case.

As Timmy would say, we cannot win nationally televised games. My take on it is that Jeannie Glasko (I don't know how to spell her name and I hate her so much it's not even worth Googling it, so F-her) is jinxing the Red Sox and obviously Kevin Kennedy hates the Sox. The only silver lining to today's round of Fox Saturday Baseball was, NO JOE BUCK!! AMEN!!!
