    Sox were in extra innings with the Tribe tonight when RF Jonathan Van Every came to the plate.

    During the at-bat Sox announcer Joe Castiglione said, "This would be a great time for Jonathan to hit his first major league home run."

    Next pitch - Bango! Deep to center and gone.

    Sox hold on to win.

    Van Every also had a couple of clutch catches in the game, including one that left the bags jammed.

    I watched that on the MLB site. Pretty motivating. I love it when the announcers feel like they're Nostradamus. :)

    Pick up the Sports page and look at the box score from last night's blowout loss to the Rays. Check out who pitched the final 2/3 inning.
