It's a long way to the top...if you wanna rock and roll

This could be it, the game everyone looks back at and says, there, right there is when we saw a few things happen...The Sox blow a 5-0 lead in the 7th, only to see Jonathan Papelbon pitch 3 no-hit innings to keep the alive and allow Big Papi to come up big AGAIN with a solo home run in the 11th and a 6-5 win. The win gives the Sox an extra half game on the Yankoffs who were off tonight.

Not to be outdone, Manny Ramirez also homered, and amazingly Rock Star Bronson Arroyo had one of his best outtings of the year, throwing up donuts until the 7th, when he loaded the bases in favor of the Burger King Keith Foulke. Foulke gave up two runs but got two outs, and then for some odd reason Terry Francoma brings in the closer, Mike Timlin. Huh? Why is Timlin coming in to the game in the 7th?! Of course Timmy gives up a HR, only his 2nd of the year, but it ties up the game at 5.

Gettin' robbed, Gettin' stoned, Gettin' beat up, Broken boned. Gettin' had, Gettin' took, I tell you folks, It's harder than it looks...
