Thank You Petey and Youk

Losing is bad enough, but a no-hitter at home by an opposing pitcher is crushing.  Thank God we didn't have to endure that cross.

Dustin Pedroia & Kevin Youkilis rose to the occasion in the 9th to give Red Sox fans some dignity in a 6-2 loss to the Angels.  Lackey lost the no-no to Pedroia on a single & then the shutout to Youkilis on his 18th HR with 1 out in the 9th. 

Did Lackey pitch well? Yes.  Did the Red Sox batters swing at many bad pitches out of the strike zone? Yes.  I think the combination of both lead to the downfall tonight.   

Let's hope Beckett can right the ship tomorrow.  LA seems to have our number this year.
