Top Seven:
Howell still on to face Drew.
JD Drew, The Ballad of a Well Known Line Drive Hitter, flies out to center.
Jason Bay, Canada's Gift To The World, is hit by a pitch.
It seems like Tampa's manager Joe Maddon, who has been so right about so many things all year, seems to be coming apart at the seams. Baseball luck is getting him-the same things that worked in June aren't working now.
Mark Kotsay, Door To Door Bat Salesman, dribbles one in front of the mound and is retired at first, Bay to second.
Maddon comes to the mound to get Howell, as Farmer Jed is up next.
Grant Balfour, Australia's gift to the Red Sox, is on now. He's been sharp all year, but Boston tap danced all over his head in Game Five.
Balfour goes 3-0 on Lowrie, then walks him.
Varitek now. First a swinging strike, then a foul strike. Then a ball, and another foul, and a passed ball to advance the runners to second and third. Then ball three.
Then Varitek sends a very high fly to short right for the third out.
Bottom Seven
The Okeydoke still on. Willy Aybar, whose brother Erick played such a key role in Boston's win over the Angels in Game Four of the DS, fouls out to Our Man Youk.
Dioner (Maker) Navarro is up. He fouls out to Bay. Seven outs to go.
Zobrist is up now. Zobrist flies out to deep left center for the third out.
Phew.
On to the eighth.....
