Well ... if there's an opposite to the Manny Ramirez story this is it ... I hope the kid pulls it off tonight.

It’s been quite a journey for Zink, who began his career in 2001 with Yuma of the independent Western League, signed with the Red Sox as an undrafted free agent a year later, and became a full-time knuckleballer in 2003.

Since then, the 28-year-old has experienced a breakout 2003 season in which he was named Red Sox minor league pitcher of the year, and a breakdown 2004 when he was 1-10.

This year, he’s 13-4 with a 2.89 ERA in 25 starts for Pawtucket. He leads the International League in innings (152), is tied for first in wins, and is third in ERA.

Francona said "no mas" in the 5th .. no win for Charlie.

Eight run (and counting) 5th inning. Uugh. I can't believe that at the start of the season I actually thought the bullpen was an area of strength (in comparison to other teams) for the Red Sox.
