9:25 Varitek just homered to put Boston up 3-2. Simultaneously, Nic tells me that Colt McCoy just broke a UT career touchdown record. Hopefully he won't eventually try to turn the Heisman into a bong like some other former UT players...
9:26 We have our first pitching change of the night, with J.P. Howell coming on to pitch for the T.B. Rays.
9:29 Dustin Pedroia and his "I grew this out so I didn't have to learn how to shave" beard step into the batter's box. That's the worst beard I've seen since Katie Holmes. A high chopper to short turns into an E-6 and we've got runners at the corners.
9:32 David "Big Papi" Ortiz is up, and I can't help but wonder if he's ever used Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Papa" as his at-bat music. As I've stated before, and in what will come as no surprise to anyone that reads this, I am endlessly fascinated by the at-bat music that players select.
9:33 Ortiz singles to right, and if Tampa Bay was in California I could make a great East Coast - West Coast feud remark. But alas, Google Maps tells me that it's somewhere in Florida. 4-2 Boston.
9:38 The Youk goes down swinging, inning over. Oh, by the way, did anyone else see this story in the news? Glad I'm a boy...
