Jeez, what a boring night at the ballpark!

Sox win to complete the sweep of the Rays. Manny has his first 5-RBI night in almost 2 years.

Crisp ejected. Pedroia gets whacked on the elbow. Ellsbury injures his wrist making a catch in center field. Manny leaves the game after tweaking the hammy again. Youk (Mr. Intensity) gets into it in the dugout with Manny of all people.

Total game time was about 3 hours and 45 minutes. Crazy.

Francona played everything down in the post-game. The Youk/Manny situation has already been dealt with and they're now moving on. Uh-huh. Jacoby's wrist is no worse than day-to-day, but will be given a full exam tomorrow.

Honestly, I kind of think that Coco over-reacted. He had to know it was coming after his hard slide yesterday. And the pitcher didn't go for his head. It was a fastball, but probably not his hardest, and it was roughly at Coco's thighs. He probably should've looked menacingly at the mound, yelled enough profanities that the catcher had to get in his way and then taken his base. Easy for me to say, tho, nobody threw anything at me tonight.
