Byrd is stinking a little...sorry, should be in the Yankee in game thread. Apologies.

Beckett now has a 1.65 ERA on the road this year. absolutely sick

Great win, Beckett comes closer to being the Sox's 1st 20 game winner since 2004. he's just f***ing money. Love the offensive showing tho I am seeing 10 hits, 10 walks, oh well they got enough to win. Every now and then Drew has a game that we hope was the start of seeing the way he's capable pf playing. Hopefully last night was it

 

Had the matchups in my mail box but forgot to send them to anyone to post for me while i was off in Boston. Just for kicks I'll post the updated matchups

I was surprised the sox hit a soft tossing lefty so well. Good game from Beckett as well. This was a must win for the sox after losing so badly.
