Sox Rebound In Baltimore. . .

(Schilling was Strong.)(Alex Cora hit a Home Run!)(Julio Lugo With a Slick Play.)(Ortiz Scores In The Ninth.)
After a disappointing two game set against the Blue Jays, the Red Sox rebounded on Wenesday Night against Baltimore, winning at Camden Yards 6-1. Curt Schilling was strong, producing this line:

7IP 5H 1ER 1HR 2BB 3K


Continuing his torrid streak, light hitting Utility Infielder Alex Cora (who has 32 CAREER Home Runs) hit a home run off of Daniel Cabrera. Raised his career numbers to 10-17 against the Orioles Starter. Mike Lowell kept up his run of good games with two RBI, and Manny Ramirez showed some signs of life adding two RBI of his own. Today the revitalized Sox look to continue their good fortune again in Baltimore with Josh Beckett facing off against Adam Loewen.


GO SOX!

The Bloody Sock Not Bloody?

Thanks to this site.

Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's famous bloody sock from the 2004 playoffs is being called into question.

Gary Thorne, who does play-by-play for Orioles games, brought up the issue during the telecast of Wednesday night's game.

He said he had been told by Sox catcher Doug Mirabelli that the sock had been painted to look like blood in game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series against the Yankees.

The Boston Globe reported that Thorne claimed it was all a public relations stunt.

The statement ignited fury among members of the Sox.

Mirabelli denied ever telling Thorne it was paint saying, "I never said that. I know it was blood. Everybody knows it was blood."

Manager Terry Francona also weighed in, saying Thorne's remarks "Go so far past disappointing. Disrespectful to Schill, to his vocation. I'm stunned."



(This better be a misunderstanding on Thorne's part.).
