you know what's even better than snapping a losing streak?

watching your ace pitch a complete-game, shut out, one-hitter. exactly 100 pitches. four Ks. no walks.


up until the hit the Athletics got with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to spoil his perfect game, the only base runner was a result of a Lugo fielding error.

Julio Freaking Lugo.

what an awesome game though! 1-0 Sox!

thanks Big Man! your team, as well as RSN, needed that win -- for mental reasons more than anything else. i would dance around my apartment if i didn't feel like my head & chest were going to explode.
