Game time: 1:35 pm
Scheduled starters: Erik Bedard (4-4, 4.47) v. Justin Masterson (2-0, 2.95)
The game will be on NESN
Boston weather: 11 am observation at KBOS: Wind out of the west at 9 mph, visibility 10 miles, few clouds at 6,000 feet, scattered clouds at 25,000 feet, temperature 88F, DP 67F
Forecast: HOT! With the wind out of the west to southwest, it will easily get into the 90s this afternoon. The dew point will likely be in the low 70s by game time. There's a slight chance of some convection later in the afternoon. We saw a couple pop-up storms yesterday afternoon, but they lost strength as they got closer to the coast, and that's likely to happen today.
It's going to be hot and humid at the old ballyard this afternoon. The wind will be blowing out toward center.

Today's line-up looks so much better than yesterday's. I expect the Boys to improve on yesterday's result. (OK, OK, the opposition is actually offering a pitcher against us, rather than a batting practice coach. Still, I want a victory of more than yesterday's eight runs. Just because...)
Did Manny go around on strike 3 or was it a called strike?

I wish I knew...from my vantage point, it was a "yell at the TV" moment.
It was a swing.

CBS Sportsline calls it "swinging." I didn't see it, but am watching now. Looks like Masterson isn't going to be getting much help.
Bye, bye, Mr. Bedard. Hello, soft underbelly... Runs!
This just in....
JD Drew is on freaking FIRE!!!!!
JD Drew is on freaking FIRE!!!!!
... and Justin Masterson has done EVERYTHING we could have hoped for. The future sure looks bright.

Here's hoping we don't now pay for Paps' unnecessary appearance last night.
Fade Edit: Piece of cake. 5 pitches, 5 strikes, three outs. He really is amazing when the situation calls for it.
Love that dirty water! G'night.
