Sox Beast Oakland 8-3 behind Beckett, Dusty, LaRoche
I'm not saying the Sox's starting pitching wouldn't be unbeatable with Roy Halladay. But they're pretty unbeatable without him too. And if you need anymore double-negatives I wouldn't not talk to me about it.
OAK (41-57) 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 3 9 0
BOS (58-40) 1 0 1 3 1 0 2 0 - 8 14 1

Beaten Down quote of the Day:
"That's really a good lesson for a lot of our young pitchers to watch the way he pitches. He's aggressive. He mixed in his sinker and the breaking ball but he did throw them all for strikes."
-Oakland manager Bob Geren (via espn.com)
Beat you Down quote of the Day:
"The biggest thing tonight is we just kept putting pressure on them every single inning. When we have a lineup like we do, it's bound to happen."

Jim Ed not a Horse, A Real Good Ballplayer, in fact.
The Sox retire #14 tonight, in honor of Cooperstown-enshrined Jim Rice. Tears? I don't think the Eck will be able to hold them back tonight.
For All of You Tweeps Out There:
The Man of the Hour might be retired, but he's still kickin it with the internet, that Twitter-thingy, and that damn rap music.
