OK, i am recovered enough from being stunned in my chair. I was able walk to the computer.

My theory is Mercado is a good luck charm.

We have scored at least a run in every inning and off every pitcher so far tonight.

Kipnis, our massive clean up hitter, strikes out. 2 away.

Jose with hard grounder but nice play by 2nd baseman. Onto the btm of 7 ... 14-6 good guys

A rare time when the hitting actually bails out a mediocre outing by Bieber.

I am with you HB - the way this has gone it's time to say goodbye to Leonys.

Or maybe just adding one good ball player in place of a dead beat just helped...

They do that a couple more times and we may be onto something.

At the very least we need to look at Mercado, Allen and even Bauers. He counts too.

If they actually help us win all the better but now's the time to be looking.

Jose boots another play at 3rd base for error. And it costs because next batter hits a homer.

14-8 btm of 8

Have we seen enough of Cole yet?

And now Martin misplays a ball in CF that giftwraps a double to Bradley.

He should not make the flight to Chicago...

And it's costly as well, as next batter drills another double to CF.

Cole shouldn't make flight to Chicago either...

14-9 good guys. btm 8. Olsen coming in.

Always an adventure in Fenway.

I do wonder what our offense would look like right now if we got to hit here regularly like BoSox.

Santana would be an MVP leader right now probably.

Roberto might hit 240.

Benitendi up, and he has been hammering everything. Double and homer tonight.

Olsen strikes him out!

Onto the 9th.

Benintendi is a hillbilly from southern Ohio like other legends. For example, Generals Sherman and Grant, and, well, me. Just goes without saying he is awesome.

Literally everyone with a heartbeat has been pounding the ball tonight, except Martin. He's 0-4 now after weak pop up to 3rd.

Oh, and of course Perez, he doesn't have a hit either. (Plawecki started... tee hee hee)

What a beautiful swing by Lindor there. Down 2 strikes, goes the other way for his 3rd straight hit.

Alright, Santana gets another AB for a chance at the cycle.
