Game time: 1:05 pm

Scheduled starters: Edwin Jackson (0-2, 7.00) v. Brad Penny (NR)

No local radio; on gameday audio


Fort Myers weather: 10 am observation at Page Field: wind out of the east at 7 mph, visibility 10 miles, scattered clouds at 3,400 feet, broken layer at 4,200 feet, temperature 61F, DP 58F

Forecast: An unstable air mass with a good deal of moisture in it could result in showers this afternoon after things start heating up. It will be cloudy with a gusty wind out of the east, which is blowing in from right, just like yesterday. It will get into the mid-70s if the cloud cover remains as it is.

Back-to-back-to-back-to-back!!!!




Read this carefully so you can keep track: The Red Sox just hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs in the sixth innings.

That's four straight, by Mike Lowell, Jason Bay, Chris Carter, and Ivan Ochoa. All of them went to left, where the wind is blowing out; Carter's was an opposite field blast. Poor Dusty Brown followed them, popped to first, and got booed.
