What a Night!

Sunday was a great night to be a Boston sports fan.

First the Bs get two goals from Phil Kessel and a shutout from Tim Thomas as they played their best game of the series against Carolina and force a Game 6.

The Glen "Big Baby" Davis hits two clutch jumpers in the final minute including the game winner at the buzzer as the Celts even their series with Orlando.

Then the Sox get two big doubles from David Ortiz and Jason Bay to break a 3-3 tie in the 8th inning and Jonathan Papelbon strikes out the side with two runners on and no outs in the 9th to preserve the 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

We couldn't have scripted it any better.

The win allowed the Sox to take two of three from the Rays and stay even with Toronto in the loss column for first place in the AL east.

BOX SCORE: Red Sox 4, Rays 3

Josh Beckett had a decent start allowing three runs in six innings, but once again the bullpen was the story.

Hideki Okajima continued his lights out pitching with a perfect 1 2/3 innings and then Ramon Ramirez got the only batter he faced before turning it over to Paps for the save.

With the way the starting pitching has struggled so far, the bullpen may need to keep this up if the Sox want to be playing in October.

Bay keeps coming up with big hits. Is there anyone who isn't happy about the trade now?

The injuries continue to be a concern, however, as Youk is still out and now Pedroia looks like he might miss some time with a groin injury. Francona said he may only miss one game so hopefully both guys will be back on the West Coast swing.
