- Josh Beckett has bounced back from his poor performance last time out, pitching 6 scoreless innings against the Braves. The Sox are up 4-0 in the 7th. Rain is delaying the game as I write this.

- Coco Crisp made another highlight reel worthy catch tonight, diving to snare a Tim Hudson line drive. The last Red Sox center fielder I can remember that made great plays on a regular basis like Coco does is Fred Lynn.

- Want to hear exactly how bad the NL Central is? According to what I just heard on tonight's Brewers game, Milwaukee only lost 1 and 1/2 games off their lead during their 10-20 slump. The Brew Crew has been playing better of late and has a 7 game lead in the division.

- One more reason I like the Brewers: their local telecast has a "Tavern of the Day" promotion. How can you not love that?
