Sox fans with Directv outside of Boston were supposed to get the last WSBK game but didn't. Hope they fixed that mistake for today.

Clement getting hit hard...2-0 Twins in the bottom of the 2nd.
3-2 Twins in the top of the 4th (?).
Final, 4-2 Twins.
The Bosox are having trouble driving in guys. We had plenty of chances today. 
Lack of clutch hitting and a shaky outing by Clement led to defeat in this one. I sure hope Clement can get his early inning jitters out of the way before the regular season starts.
5 strikeouts and no walks in his 4 innings. Since Clements weakness was his wildness the Sox probably feel pretty good about his outing today.

I'm in Flordia right now (Naples) me and a ton of people were at the game today. My brother said that he saw me on TV. I was wearing a grey WS shirt off to the 1st base side of the batter towards the 8th/9th inning if anyone saw me haha. Got some amazing pictures (we were 6 rows up but then moved to the 1st row).

That's in the category of pick your poison.
Positive spin: at least he's throwing a lot of innings. Varitek and Francona probably are telling him to get the ball over, take some lumps, and the Sox offense will win out more often than not.
