Well, that is where my memory fails. But he did hit an RBI single in the first inning off of Danks, to score Ichiro and give the 1-0 lead. So that's more significant for the time, as opposed to reviewing the final score.
The double was later in the game and did not actually score a run…

Anyone questioning why the Sox went after Peavy
and are going after Oswalt/Bedard just need watch Mr. Danks this afternoon. Very encouraged by Floyd’s last two outings and the last three from Richard, but you just can’t go through a season feeling confident about only 1 starter. Last year you had that “confident” feeling with Buehrle, Danks, Floyd, and for that matter you pretty much knew Javy had a good chance of keeping you in the game (until the end I guess).

I don’t understand the need to keep Clayton, I mean even if he does become a great pitcher the sox need a known commodity.

My God, that seems unthinkable.
Ed Farmer: "Is it raining in here?"
Steve Stone: "I've made an egregious mistake."
KC Fans:
Grienke is a great pitcher, but please stop acting like he is only capable of pitching strikes.

Gordon Beckham could've done that.

Lefties combined 5-8 against Grienke today
Getz only one without a hit
Colon, who after pitching 5 scoreless innings, had to leave the game with an upset stomach.
The Royals just want Josh to feel better about himself
it’s not that they have terrible advance scouting. it’s that they’re altruistic.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
they're thinking ahead
if they let fields get hits like that, we won’t call up beckham. strategery

I think this technique of using the ninth inning of close ballgames as extended spring training for pitchers who’ve missed time due to injury might not be a great idea."

Uh, wasn't Danks supposed to become "elite" this year?
WTF, stat bitches. Why does he suck now?

I'm waiting for larry to tell me why
I really am.
member of a "solid community of fans" and "a meathead."
has he allowed a lead-off man on base every inning?
i missed the 3rd
it's still only the fourth inning?

You are forgetting the number one grinder rule:
you don’t have to be good at baseball to be good at baseball
that is the essence of Pods
Colon, who after pitching 5 scoreless innings, had to leave the game with an upset stomach.
and here i thought grinder rule 1 was "win or die trying"
