ERod goes 7 strong innings and Chablis goes yard as the Sox get back on the winning track 2-0 over old friend Terry Francona and the Tribe.

Compliments to Major League, which turned 21 this month
JOHN W. HENRY
We're 1/8th into the season, we're
11 and 10, 3.5 games out of first.
Our attendance is just below 0.
That's bad, but not bad enough.

VAZQUES
Maybe the other one's jammed up.
They come through the gate where they see two American
Airlines jets on the tarmac.
E-Rod
(pointing to the jets)
Which one is ours?
GATEMAN
That one.
The gateman points off-screen. Suddenly, an old DC-3, with
the Red Sox logo on it, pulls into frame.
