David Ortiz hit his 51st home run of the season on the first pitch he saw from Johan Santana, breaking the Red Sox record set in 1938 by Jimmie Foxx.
When he reached home plate, Ortiz raised both hands to the sky, his usual post-home run gesture, then went to on-deck hitter Mike Lowell, who congratulated him. Ortiz’s teammates were on the top step of the dugout or inside it and applauded as he approached. Francona was one of the first to hug him and others followed. Ortiz then left the dugout and tipped his cap.
In the 7th, Papi hit HR number 52 which sent Fenway park into a BIGGER frenzy.

Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek caught his 1,000th game on Tuesday night against the Twins. He was the first to catch 1000 games in Red Sox history. The only other person to come close to 1,000 was the legendary Carlton “Pudge” Fisk.
Here is the Home Run that Fisk hit during Game 6 of the 1975 World Series in the bottom 12th to take the series to a 7th game.
Interestingly enough Fisk graduated from UNH (University of New Hampshire) which is part of the University System of New Hampshire along with Plymouth State.

During the summer, work had a BBQ on a lake in NH for the day where we got to hang out with people that we work with in a relaxed environment. While in the lake playing Frisbee, a guy I work with (no names mentioned) decided that he would throw it at me from about 3 feet away from me. Now that wouldn’t have been a problem, however it was on its vertical axis making great aerodynamics going through the air until it nailed me in the face. The Frisbee shattered into 5 peices on my forehead leaving a giant egg and a black and blue.
Now, this is not the same object that I was hit with, but it was most likely the same speed and direct contact as this kid got. I also didn’t cry, but did it hurt.
After I asked the person who threw the Frisbee if he realized how close he was to me and he responded by saying yes, but I didn’t think it would hit you that hard. So here is a lesson for people on the difference between NEAR and FAR.
Last week, I released the newest version of Call Log to the Lamson Information Desk. However, when it was released, there was a serious bug that caused the info desk to stop productively functioning. It was getting to the point where nothing was working and we had to roll back an older version of Call Log before that release.
Needing to compare differences in the files, Zach told me about the “Diff” command in Unix which allows you to compare two different files and it will inform you of the changes.
Standard Syntax
[test@www ~]$ diff folder/file.html folder2/file.html
Standard Output
The #’s at the top are the line #’s, the < signifies that the following is from the left file and the > means it is from the right file.
List Syntax
[test@www ~]$ diff -Bbrq folder folder2
List Output
This time I am listing all of the files in each directory that are different. Each parameter of diff (right after “-”) will change the output that it gives you.
-B = Ignore changes that just insert or delete blank lines.
-b = Ignore changes in amount of white space.
-r = When comparing directories, recursively compare any subdirectories found.
-q = Report only whether the files differ, not the details of the differences.
It not only shows you the files that are only in one directory, but it shows which files in each are different.
For more information on diff from a UNIX prompt, type: man diff

In the first game of this 4 game series and the first of the Double Header. Chien-Ming Wang vs. Josh Beckett for the Red Sox.
In the top first inning, the Red Sox got off to a pretty good start with runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out after Ortiz hit a fair ball to right field. Willy Mo Pena struck out for the second out. Next batter was Trot Nixon who grounded out to the second baseman.
The bottom of the Inning came a 1,2,3 inning for Beckett. Throwing out Damon, grounding out to third was Jeter and grounding out to first was Abreau.
Top of the second was a 1,2,3 inning for Wang.
The bottom of the inning was not good for Beckett, walking 1 and then Cano hit a HR and two people on with 1 out. Then a questionable HBP call to load the bases for Damon. Luckily Damon grounded into a 4-6-3 Double Play to end the inning but the Yankees put a two spot on the board in the second
Third inning wasn’t anything big to report, a quick inning.
Top 4, with an error for Jeter, they were unable to close out the inning with a double play and the Red Sox score two runs to tie the game at two. Then Doug came in from third on a a ground out to first making it 3-2 Red Sox.
Through the next few innings was very close with good pitching and fielding for each side. In the top of the 7th, Yankees walked 4 consecutive batters to make the score 4-2 Red Sox. Up next was Mike Lowell with 1 out and the bases juiced and strikes out along with Eric Hinske to end the inning leaving 3 on bases.
Beckett was done when Corey came in for the 7th inning. There were a few times that the Sox were in trouble but headed into the 9th winning 4-2.
The ninth inning started off with a double by Mark Loretta and an IBB for Ortiz. Willy Mo Pena struck out giving way for Trot Nixon to hit for a fielders choice to second for the 2nd out with runners on first and third. With a wild pitch, Loretta comes home for a 5-2 lead. Mike Lowell walks to put runners on 2nd and 3rd for Carlos Pena hit it back to the mound to end the top 9.
Bernie Williams gets a single to lead of the 9th inning against Mike Timlin. Kaplar runs down a fly ball to get the 1st out. Jeter strikes out for out number 2. Joege Posada pinch hits for Bobby Abreau. Timlin strikes out Posada to end Game 1 of the Day/Night Double header.
The Red Sox are trying to come back into the Wild Card race and the playoffs. This rivalry could get to be its worst if the Sox come back to win the Wild Card. A few more hours till Game Two.

Everyone in the United States should observe a moment of silence for everyone that died during September 11, 2001 and for all the families of those killed.
I Saw An Eagle Cry
Today I saw an eagle,
With a teardrop in his eye.
It literally took my breath away,
To see an eagle cry.
I asked him,What’s the matter?,
And he told me what he saw.
A cowardly attack was made,
On the towers that once stood tall.
He said everything he stood for,
Had taken a shocking blow.
So he had to take a moment,
To let his own emotions show.
Then he proudly told me,
That our Nation would survive.
That our Liberty and Freedom,
He’d be sure to keep alive.
He said for us not to be afraid,
To stand together, not apart.
For a terrorist has succeeded,
If he puts fear within our hearts.
- Poem By Cassandra L. Gilbert
