Top Seven-
Damon pops out, Jeter strikes out.
Wow. Nice, efficient work.
Abreu grounds out.
Wow. Nice work, against three tough hitters.

Joe Sheehan agrees with me that Tabata is a huge, huge gamble for the Pirates-massive upside- he is the kind of player the Yankees usually want to hang onto until he matures into Derek Jeter. Dealing him could be a Larry Andersen deal for New York. If Tabata is winning batting titles five years from now, we'll say "Who was that lefty New York got for him?"
Bottom Seven-
Moeller now catching for New York.
Drew flies out.
Varitek flies out.
Cora singles.
Ellsbury singles.
Pedroia flies out.
Top 8
Metropolitan District Commission gives up a base hit to Kabbalah Man.
Nady hits into a nice, pretty 6-4-3 DP.
Jon Miller reveals that former Red Sox C Russ Gibson died today.

RC Cola flies out to end it.
On Sportscenter tonight: What makes Yankees/Red Sox so bitter? 1949, 1978, and 2003, for starters!
Bottom 8-Betemit now playing at short. Is Jeter hurt? He hasnt looked like himself today.
Youkilis flies out.
Papi flies out.
Manny flies out.
Joe Morgan will be back next week? That's disappointing. Steve Phillips annoys me much less than Joe Morgan.
Mike Timlin on now. Even he can probably protect a 7 run lead.
Jed Lowrie at third for Lowell. Probably, like Jeter, just giving the old man a few innings off.
Top Nine-
Sexson Machine grounds out.
Cabrera flies out DEEP to center.
Moeller grounds out, and that's all.
Nice win, and one we desperately needed.
Ten hits, but Lester made pitches when he had to.
I have to go to work in the morning, so that's all from here.
G'Night, Y'All.
I listened to it last night while trying to go to sleep. Thanks for the recap.
