Red Sox-Devil Rays (July 27, 2005)

A dramatic -- and much needed -- victory for the Red Sox last night. Today they absolutely need Tim Wakefield ( 8-9, 4.42) to take the pressure off an exhausted Sox bullpen by going at least 7-innings. Wake faces off with Tampa's Seth McClung (1-5, 7.07) at 4:15 p.m. on NESN and WEEI. (Thoughts from Tuesday's game ... above all else, let's all thank what ever God we pray to that Matt Clement is healthy this morning ... a great job by the entire team to pick themselves up after Clement got hit on the head to come back and win a wild game ... Johnny Damon's price tag keeps rising -- I think the Sox need to offer him Varitek money ... Manny DelCarmen was very, very impressive in his major league debut ...I actually agree with Dale Sveum for waving in Olerud at that point of the game ... Nixon's on the way to the DL -- welcome back Kapler?)
