It's all right, Jose. We had a good run.

Hit the ball in just the right place, off to the races.

It would have been much funnier if Byrnes' dog just chilled on the boat and refused to even go in the water. He did it for a few, as if it to indicate that even he thought it was a stupid stunt. The Cove has been the most over-hyped non-story of this whole break. How did no one put one in there last night?

Josh Beckett should be in the MVP discussion.

It's tough to be the MVP from a losing team.

Ain't losing anymore.

Ichiro just inserted himself into the discussion.

Ichiro also eliminated Beckett from said discussion, too.

Hey mike...

Ichiro - 3 for 3, 2 1B, HR, 2 RBI

Just to let you know.

It will take a game-winning hit for someone to knock him off of the MVP stand.

Thanks, pal. We're just focused on winning now. MVP awards are for pansies anyway.

how the heck did that ball kick that way? Did Ichiro impart gyro-spin on the ball?

Three hits isn't a bad night. I can't imagine he gets another at-bat with Hardy waiting to take short.

This doesn't look good for the Senior Circuit.

Back within one. The NL still has a chance.
Who will be closing for the AL, Jenks or Papelbon?
