Sox strike back as Coco, Lester spark win in Philly

Sox 3, Phillies 0
WP: Lester
(6-3)
LP: Moyer (7-4)
SV: Papelbon (20)
HRs: BOS-Crisp (5)

SUMMARY:
Coco Crisp hit a two run homer off Jamie Moyer in the second inning, Jon Lester made it stand up with seven solid innings of shutout ball and Boston can win the series in the rubber game tomorrow afternoon.

#1 STUNNER: Lester 7IP, 6H, 0ER, 1BB, 5K, 99P
The kid out pitched the vet for his third straight win and the for the 9th time in 16 starts the lefty allowed 2 earned runs or less.

THE BIGGEST LOSER(s): Utley, Howard, Burrell 0-12, 8K
The Phillies' big three took a big dump tonight, none more so than Howard who followed up his two homer, one triple, four RBI game with an 0-4, 4-strikeout Golden Sombrero gag job.

Talk about all or nothing.

RECAP:
The Sox won behind Coco's two-run homer, Lester pitched seven strong innings and Boston can take the series tomorrow afternoon.

That's all I got because the Celtics just wrapped up World Championship #17, and I'm knee deep in Korbel and Heineken and basking in the first title for the Green Machine since my senior year in high school!

So I'm checking out for tonight and will report back in before the businessman's special tomorrow afternoon.

Good night and
CONGRATS CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RECORD: 45-29
AL EAST: Up 2 gms
STREAK: W1
LAST 10: 7-3
UP NEXT: Wed @ PHI
1:05 Masterson vs. Kendrick

I heard Mike Timlin wanted to come into the game with a few minutes left and up by almost 40 points, but Doc wouldn't let him...WHEW!!!!!

Can Doc have a talk with Tito? I hear they're fast-friends. Maybe Doc can talk some sense into Tito, since Timlin won't just step down quietly and fade off into the sun-set with what dignity he has left at this point :(
