best offense: edgar is continuing to heat it up which is great to see as in the 1st inning he hit his 8th HR to straight-away center field and scored the only 2 runs the Sox were able to muster up. Edgar has a current 6 game hitting streak (at least one extra base hit in those games) and has scored 5 Runs in the first 3 games. Big Papi collected his majors leading 144th RBI.
dishonorable mention: Really everybody as 11 men were left on base, enough to even at least tie up the game. Manny had went 0-4 and stranded 4 men on base, Tek continuing his never-ending slump went 0-3, Millar did have a hit but stranded 5 men on base, and Tony G also had a hit but still had stranded 4 men on base with his outs. An offensive slump at Fenway is not a good thing to see right now.
best pitching: Lenny DiNardo had really helped keep the Sox in the game as he went 4 strong innings giving up just the 1 hit (double that let 2 runners score) he walked 3 and struck out 2. Manny Delcarmn making his bid that he should be played more had a scoreless inning of relief. Myers also did a good job to close out the 9th.
dishonorable mention: i think thats kind of obvious
best defense: bill mueller, swear to god he better be heavily considered for a gold glove
