does anyone know if I can listen to today's game free online? from streaming weei audio or does weei not do red sox games over the internet?

You have to purchase MLB gameday to listen to games. WEEI CANNOT stream MLB broadcasts.

Crisp with a nice single to right...and SB!

Loretta with a great swing, to right but the liner is caught by Rios (at first thought it looked like an RBI single).

Ortiz....RBI single to right!

Crisp is fun to watch. A lead off single, a SB, and a run scored on a Papi single.

He did make one baserunning mistake, though, by not being in position to tag up on Loretta's line out to right. Hopefully Tito goes over it with him so he doesn't make that mistake again, that is what ST is for.

That liner looked like a hit, and Rios has a great arm so Crisp needed to decided if to run or go back...


Manny works a walk.

nixon...DP inning over.

It looked like a hit, but Crisp still needs to stay on second. This way, if it's caught he can tag, if Rios can't get to it, then he will be able to score from second anyways.

Now 4-1 Jays after scoring 3 in the 4th. Hinske and Adams go yard on Wake.

Foulke with a 1,2,3 inning, 13 pitches. Line out to left, line out to shallow center, weak pop up to 3rd.

MDC with a solid two innings of relief.

That was disappointing. Choi sees all of one pitch, and the game ends with Wily Mo on deck. Meanwhile, when I was flipping to the Dodgers game off and on, I just missed a Bill Mueller AB, and Nomar apparently wasn't playing. So all I got out of that was seeing Grady Little make the slow walk to the mound.

Two and a half years too late...

Final: TOR 5, BOS 3

WP - Josh Towers
S - Jason Arnold

LP - Tim Wakefield

TOR - 5R, 14H, 0E
BOS - 3R, 9H, 1E

Well he went out to the mound in 2003, he just didn't do what he was supposed to when he got there.
