June 21, Red Sox vs. Nationals - Fourth Inning - Sox 4, Nats 1

Ryan Zimmerman leads it off. The Yankees are scoreless in the fourth. D.O. just said that Youk is all miked up at first. Gotta love those innocuous (sue me, I don't have an online dictionary here) conversations that go on at first. Zimmerman pops up the 3-2 pitch.
Okay, riveting conversation at first base between Youk and Soriano from a previous inning. Youk asking him how he likes left. Probably should have asked him what it was like to play for the Rangers in 1000 degree heat, while his pitchers gave up 10 runs a game and then get traded to the Nats, who play in a park that should be condemned.
Matt Lecroy just struck out. This is the guy that had seven guys steal on him a few weeks ago (I'm not making that up) and Frank Robinson actually had to pull him in the middle of the inning.
Royce Clayton up. He replaced Ozzie Smith in Saint Louis. Ozzie's a Hall of Famer, Royce is working on being remembered with greats like Spike Owen, Buddy Biancalana and U.L. Washington. Clayton just looked foolish on a curveball.
Here it is! Just like the sun rising every day. "Not too close, what you think I got that insurance?" "What insurance is that Yogi?" Can't go a night without that one. A night, that one has been running three straight seasons! How much dough is Yogi raking in in risiduals! Oh, here's a new one with that guy from American Idol, the one who has Steve Martin disease and has grey hair at age 35 or whatever he is.
Okay, Sox up.
Alex Gonzalez leads it off. Ground ball to Zimmerman at third, almost eats him up, but he recovers and throws A-Gon out. I know, dumb nickname, but I didn't come up with it.
Here's Youk. Now hitting .323. Schneider is wearign this stormtrooper colored chest protector with matching shin guards and it looks really dumb. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Youk just struck out on a 3-2 pitch.
AFLAC Trivia Question. Who was the Expos' winning pitcher in their first-ever meeting with the Sox. I'm guessing Steve Rogers. Who the hell knows.
Mark "I'm a machine" Loretta just singled again. Opposite hit. 3-3
Here come Big Giant Papi. I'm in shock that the Fenway Faithful aren't giving him a standing ovation for the grandslam. Doesn't take much when he's up. He just roped one into the seats on the right side (like I had to say which side), 1-2 count. 2-2 count. Just laced a single off Vidro's glove, or maybe it was Clayton's or maybe it was Zimmerman's...could have been anyone with that dopey shift on. Anyway, it's a single and Loretta goes to third. Heeeere's Manny!
Just in case you were wondering, Red Sox baseball is brought to you by your local Subaru dealers. 2-0 the count. If this kid throws a fastball, it's on the pike. Nope, breaking ball. 3-0. Green light? It's Manny, he's not swinging. Curveball drops in for a strike. Shawn Hill the only person in the park that thought he would swing. Another curveball. Full count. The crowd getting loud, as usual. Manny smokes one to right, but Guillen hails it in.
