Here we go.
Owens is a highly-touted prospect, a first rounder. I think he'll be pretty good, but (needless to say) he was over-hyped.

Then again, our line-up made Rick Porcello look like Clayton Kershaw yesterday.

Well, that wasn't a productive way to start.

Ah, first innings are never easy for Masahiro...

Cryin' out loud.

I'm only half into this game. Less.
I'm making gazpacho -- started by sorting through the 30 pounds of tomatoes I got at a farm stand. ($12 for the box, ridiculous.)

A base runner!

5) NICE

Oh, nice, NICE.
Kid lost the zone, and that often spells trouble.

Now back to my Cuisinart :-)

Ooooooh. John Ryan too.

This could be a fun game!

BIRDMAN.

JR! Nicely Nice.

Wow.
Owens just dominated the top of the order in the first, now this.
Can't predict baseball, Suzyn.

Drew!

Just got home.

Love to have s'more, Gardy...

Owens seems to be "deliberate."

Tough ab...

Hit would have been better, but that was a nice PA by Gardner.

Young, you guys have Owens wobbling. Don't let him off the hook now.

Beautiful and disgusting at the same time.

What the hell, was the just Drew being stupid??

Boo, Drew

I mean, Brett has to have his head up, but how on earth does Drew not score from second on an off-the-wall double?

Another weird Fenway play.

Prediction: A-Rod will strike out.

C'mon, Alex. Put a good swing on one, brother...

Also, a couple feet and that would have been salami for Young Chris and game over.

[24] Wonderfully wrong!

Ok Alex.

Happy to be wrong there...

Yay, Alex!

Now that time we got the break: fair by inches.

Good afternoon, Mr. Owens.

Noice.

Love the way Henry talked himself all the way to the dugout.

This is a good ol' ass-whuppin.

Beltran blast!

Oh, fucking hell yes.

With a Belt, I might add.

I guess this is our day!

Up to Tanaka to keep this sane and civilized and not some exhausting Yankee-Red Sox slugfest.

Gee, I go to feed the dogs and miss that.

39) Our inning. The day is still long.

[41] Pretty much whenever you went you woulda missed something good.

Oh, Belth, are you getting all pessimistic? I love it when you get pessimistic.

Listening while working. Fun,Fun,Fun! Even with a boneheaded base running play, we still score 8! Nice to see the youngens with big flys. This will keep the pressure on the BJs.

This guy Bradley was a truly abysmal hitter until a month ago. I think he was batting .105. In his last 23 games he's hitting over .400, OPS about 1.300. I wonder if he's figured it out, or it's just One of Those Things.

[46] he went to the crossroads. Price to pay later, does he cast a shadow?

46] ..."a trip to the sky on gossamer wings..."

Anyone named Jackie Bradley Junior who makes it to the big leagues, must be successful in the big leagues.

John Sterling actually said," he now has a hurtin' tootsie. "

So glad the Yankees don't have a mascot.

[51] Yeah, Wally is profoundly embarrassing.

I've never heard of this Cook guy.
Oh, he has cut his 2015 ERA in half this outing. So, this is his role, makes sense.

Blowout!

Double digits, courtesy of Drew

Whoops, that old ERA is back up there now.

Jesus, Stephen Drew, huh?
Sterling's call should be: "Stephen Drew, who knew???"

Maybe what got Didi going has made it to Drew. Hope so.

[56] LOVELY

Drew seems sort of similar to Russel Martin insofar as the low average, the +D, the medium pop goes. Feel like Drew catches worlds more s&%# though.

Just got home. 11-1. Holy shit!

[59] That happens when you play for big media-market teams. Didn't hear about it that much when he was a Diamondback; seems like they tend to get rid of their half-shiddy players on the low-low while still remaining as much themselves.

[61] I prefer that idea. I'm no S. Drew apologist-- I was all in on Refsynder after that bomb he hit here in Fenway. Drew's certainly trying to do some salvaging though.

Didi did it!

Happy homer day, amigos.

Even dozen!

So excited about Didi. Really really looking forward to seeing him tear it up next year.

[56] Hahahahahah!!!

Now Stephen only needs the triple.

"Stephen Drew, getta load-a you!"

More likely he'll hit upon "It had to be Drew. Wonderful Drew..."

[69] is better than 68

[70] laughing

My wife can't figure out what to do with timing of this game. Too early for dinner prep, too early to go to bed. She's now watching the game. Unheard of.

[71] A true pun!

[72] Pour her a drink, please.

Better score more runs

Just wondering how long Joe will leave Tanaka San in, what with the new fresh arms available.

Yeah. Maybe depends on how he looks in the sixth. I figure he'd have no problem going seven... but why not give him an easy, short start and let someone get a little practice and exposure?

Here's another Stirling call:Drew were so wonderful tonight.

Well, this has to be Hiro's last inning.

Who is this Drew chap? I like the cut of his job.

Where's Dimelo?

Very happy that Andrew getting a chance at Fenway.

Let's go, In-di-ans! [clap clap clap clap clap]
Let's go, In-di-ans! [clap clap clap clap clap]

[69][78] Listen, Drew you want to know a secret? Drew you promise not to tell?

[81] Still?

Come on, Andrew, settle down.

It's an out. I'll take it.

Sorry it didn't work out better for Bailey

I don't know if I'm on board with the whole courtesy no-stealing bit. Could Headley not have gone on that passed ball earlier? Which would've ended up in an extra run? No leads are truly unassailable.

Phew.

I think you don't steal but it's ok to advance on a WP or a PB.

So it was Headley's decision. I'm more okay with that. Not to be a downer, Yanks still looking to be in pretty good shape!

Oh man, calling Noel back.

Cold move by Joe. Let the kid hit,

Baker's dozen.

Too bad they can't send the kid back in to pinch run.

Leon, Le-off. Very odd, definitely needs clarification in post game Mgr interview.

This is infuriating.

Uh.
Betances is up.

And in fact it's hard to fault him.
I mean, strategically terrible, but psychologically necessary.
Betances, I mean.

I hate this, if anything it gives the Sox confidence moving forward; good thing it's the last game of the series. Six runs are not enough in Fenway.

Mitchell has to go.
