4:30: We tie it in the ninth, and Chip Ambres hits a three-run homer to win it in the 10th for the Red Sox, 11-8.

4:04: Felix Rodriguez enters in the ninth for the Sox to close out the 7-4 win...and gives up four runs. Now we're down to our last three outs.

Update, 2:58: Beckett gave up four in six innings, three of those in the sixth on a series of singles. Saito in for us. Varitek has homered, and we have 14 hits and lead 7-4 in the seventh. And the knuckle-balling woman has made her professional debut in Japan. Woohoo!

You've probably heard this story by now, but if you haven't, I'll give you a summary: Cops in Texas are racist, power-hungry bastards. That article has the video of the event, in which a cop causes a man to not be there when his relative dies, just so he could be a jerk.

This coming just a few months after this similar story which I told you about before, where more Texas cops didn't like the idea of black people minding their own business in their own vehicle at their own house.
