RED SOX DON'T WANT THIS SERIES TO EVER END

he Red Sox concluded their three-game series against the Rangers with a 10-0 win. Boston had a 10-0 lead in the first game and an 8-0 margin on Wednesday. It's the first time in Red Sox history that they've had a lead of 8-0 or more in each of three consecutive games, and over the last 46 seasons the only other team to do that was the Indians in September 1986. (Maybe it was those three games that convinced Sports Illustrated to call the Indians the "best team in the American League" in its 1987 baseball preview issue.)

The Red Sox scored 37 runs in the series against Texas, tying the most by any major league team in a three-game series this season. The White Sox had 37 against the Pirates in June and the Tigers had 37 vs. the Rangers in April.

The Red Sox have scored that many runs in a three-game series only one other time over the last 55 seasons, when they had 45 in a series against the Marlins in June 2003.

Jacoby Ellsbury
J.D. Drew
Jason Varitek
Jason Bay
Josh Beckett
Jon Lester
Javier Lopez
Justin Masterson
Jonathan Papelbon

(The last time the Sox had this many Js in the clubhouse was when Jose Canseco was dealing...)

Jason Bay Shines in Sox Debut

BOSTON (AP) -- Jason Bay got a standing ovation before his first at-bat with the Red Sox, and the fans really went wild after his last one Friday night.

One day after being traded for Manny Ramirez, Bay filled the disgruntled slugger's role in left field and with clutch hitting by tripling in the 12th inning then scoring on Jed Lowrie's single that gave Boston a 2-1 win over the Oakland Athletics.

"It definitely ranks up there with one of the better moments I've had," Bay said.

Bay was obtained from Pittsburgh in the deal that sent Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers after he had criticized the club in recent weeks and missed two games with what he said was a sore knee although MRIs showed no problem.

"He's an unbelievable player," Boston starter Tim Wakefield said, "and for him to score the winning run, it's great stuff."

Bay scored both of Boston's runs, reached base four times and made two run-saving catches near the left-field line.
