10:30 Justin Masterson comes on to pitch for Boston. Meanwhile, I get a text from my boss reminding me of a work text that was due to go out an hour and a half ago. See what you people made me do?
10:31 Bartlett is hit by a pitch, cue Jonathon Papelbon warming up in the bullpen.
10:34 Boston's pitching coach makes a trip to the mound, while the Tampa Bay press box plays a little "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" I got to be the Music Director for a few games in my stint with the Smokies. Every sound effect, every "Charge!" cheer, every at-bat song, and every between inning filler music was keyed by me. Fun times. I might have played Mr. Jones twice one night. Just maybe.
10:37 B.J. Upton pops up to second. Random fact: Baseball is the only sport where the defense puts the ball into play.
10:40 Pena pops out to short, and just like that Masterson gets out of what started out as a very shaky inning.
