The Red Sox Win 6-3. GOSH!

Kid on Sidelines: What are you gonna do today, Trot?

Trot Nixon: Whatever I feel like I wanna do. Gosh!

OK, OK, perhaps its a streatch but shortly after watching "Napoleon Dynamite" in the clubhouse the Red Sox took to Safeco Field to take on the Mariners. And in the 7th inning, trailng 3-2, with the bases loaded, Trot Nixon, hitting in the 5th spot in the line up, did guess what - he hit a Grand Slam on a 98 mph fastball right over the thick of the plate to give the Sox a 6-3 lead. (Come on what else would he "feel like doing" - and what would this story be if nothing exciting happened?! GOSH!)

Myers got his first win of the year as the Sox held on to win 6-3.

Things to note:

• Foulke got his 9th save
• Mantei is settling in.
• The bullpen actually helped out (WHOA!)
• Miller did throw a few balls that caught too much plate but showed no real signs of trouble. Rather, he looked healthy as he went 5 2/3 innings givign up 5 hits, 3 runs, all while recording 5 strikeouts. Since he's healthy, he should turn out a good year for Boston.
• Damon, who has been hot lately, may be cooling down as he went 0-5 on Saturday
• Manny hit career homer No. 399
• Napoleon Dynamite does indeed ROCK!
