A Royal Butt-Kicking...By the Red Sox

Sox: 8 Victims of Said Butt-Kicking: 2

Bay rakes with four hits, a ball rolls along a wall, Papi finds a gap, Jake finally steals another base...make that two...Lowrie hits another RBI triple, Youk and Pedey continue their hitting streaks, Drew keeps getting on base, Tek plays hit and run, Beckett pulls an '07 start, am I leaving anything out? After taking last night off, the Boston bats were back tonight against Bannister and the KC bullpen. Beckett reminded us all of the pitcher he was last year and could be again this year with more starts like these. Granted, the Royals aren't exactly leading the league in offense, but you've gotta start somewhere.

Great stuff tonight from the Sox. Now they need to carry that momentum into tomorrow night and then into Chicago, where the pitching and offense is going to be better from the White Sox. Some pitchers will shut them down, but it would be nice for the Red Sox to get a win out of a pitcher with a sub-4 ERA. Doing so will give them a confidence boost when it comes to hitting good pitching on the road.

LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!
