Lind had a fantastic night, belting three homers - two to dead centre and one off the Pesky Pole in right, and then got hit by Papelbon’s first pitch to him as he came to the plate with two out and nobody on in the 9th. Try as you might - and Papelbon did with his “My bad, man. My bad” comment to Lind as the inning ended - there’s no disguising intent when you hit a guy in that situation. None.
I do hope a significant Red Sock gets drilled tomorrow, but at the appropriate time. I don’t want Roy Halladay getting thrown out of the game in the first inning for putting one in Dustin Pedroia’s or Victor Martinez’ ribcage. Actually, I suggested on The JaysTalk tonight that Camp be given the ball to start tomorrow and that he hit as many Red Sox as he has to in order to get thrown out, and then have Halladay brought in from that point. It won’t happen, but that’d be a lot of fun.

Nice! I just saw it. David Ortiz just got hit! I was hoping for a different spot since Ortiz had padding on his elbow.
