 Warmups were apparently a time of great hilarity. |

 |
 Wily Mo resets Manny. (I think it's kind of like ctrl-alt-del.) |
 |
 "None shall pass." |
 "None shall pass." |
 "Well... all right." |
 "Please don't feed the starting pitcher, kids!" |
 |
 |
 |

 |
 Perhaps a little reluctant on the hat tip, but I do think he appreciated the response. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Okay. Let's get to work here! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Are we ready? |
 Now? |
 Okay. |
 First pitch. |
 |
 |
 |

 |
 |
 A little somber coming off the mound... |
 ... but Timlin makes up for it running in from the pen! |
 |
 Lester was pitching well... but so was Scott Kazmir. |
 |
 |
 |
 Dustin Pedroia and his big swing start here... |
 |
 |
 ... and end here. |
 |
 Not sure what the discussion was about... |
 ... but DeMarlo Hale holds back Pedie just in case. |

 C'mon, Youk. It was a strike. ^_^ |

 Lester allowed only two hits and one run through seven, before handing off to Manny Delcarmen... |
 ... Mike Timlin... |
 ... and Eric Gagne. ("Don't you dare blow this one.") |
 And he didn't... but the Sox were still in an 0-1 hole. |
 |
 |
 |
 A Mike Lowell homer, a Tek ground rule double and a single by Crisp made for Fenway magic in the ninth! |
 |
 Tek thinks, "I don't really need to be here..." |
 "I'll just head back in and let the boys play." |
 "It was a nice double and all..." |
 "... but I don't need to be part of any crazed celebrations with these nutcases." |
 Not so fast, Jason! |

 Beckett and Lowell kill me here. |
