ALDS Game 1: Bottom 6

10:41 Kendrick leads off the bottom of the 6th and reaches–Youk may have been the victom of another bad call.  Francona argues emphatically.  Replays make it look like Youkilis had him but the throw from Lowell was undeniably terrible.  He’d deserve the error anyway, if you could even do that.
