I am not a jinx.

After Drew’s 3-run shot in the 7th put the Sox on top 6-4, I breathed a sigh of relief because it was no longer possible for the Sox to lose 4-5, as they had done on my first two MLB games.
It was a nail-biter right up to the end. Okajima, whose (prime!) number I was wearing, was very quickly in a runners-on-the-corners, nobody-out jam in the top of the 9th, but a timely “K” and a well-turned double-play got him out just as fast.
In other shirt news, Lowell, whose number my wonderful girlfriend was wearing, contributed two of the other Sox runs, including a solo homer (his 21st).
