Bottom 8

Beckett's still in.
Ellsbury replaces Manny in left.
And Sizemore unbelievably swings at the first pitch and finds Ellsbury, one out.
Ball one to Cabrera. As Josh goes 2-1 to Cabrera, he reaches 100 pitches. Oki and Pap are warming. At 2-2 Cabrera takes a called third strike, Josh's 11th of the game.
Wonder who'll be the player of the game?
Wonder why in the world Sizemore swung at the first pitch after a LONG top of the 8th, down 6 runs?
Ball one to Hafner. With the count full, Hafner, as good a fastball hitter as there is in baseball, couldn't get around on Beckett's 108th pitch in the bottom of the 8th inning. On Beckett's 109th pitch, Hafner grounds out to Lugo.
An absolutely spectacular performance, again, by Josh Beckett!
Inning: 13 pitches, 8 strikes. Game: 109 pitches, 74 strikes.
Big, big, big performance from a Big Game Pitcher!
