Sox Win, 8-6
Thanks to Manny's blast, and the thunder bolt right arm of one Jonathan Papelbon-bon (right), the Sox beat the Indians tonight in the first of three at the Jake. While the bullpen has been a disappointment so far, one nice surprise has been the re-emergence of Foulke. He's been an effective set-up man for Papelbon. Hitters have to see his crazy changeup and then they have to face Papelbon's seeds. Kid was pumping it in there at 95-96 on a cold night.
Sox are now 13-7, two games up on the -- surprise -- Yankees. Wakefield goes against Cliff Lee tonight. Here's hoping Josh Bard brought his running shoes.
