BOSTON -- Lyle Overbay watched the Red Sox receive their championship rings, knowing how close he came to getting one. Nike Air Max 270 Nz . Then he got back at the team that released him five days before the start of last season, hitting a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning of the first game at Fenway Park since Boston won the World Series last October. That sparked a four-run inning against Edward Mujica that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-2 win Friday. Getting released "was disappointing because I knew that they had a pretty good chance," Overbay said. "Its no hard feelings or anything. It was just a matter of trying to squeak in for a couple of weeks, anyway." During a nearly hour-long pregame ceremony, Red Sox players received their rings for winning the clubs third title in 10 years. But then the Brewers ended Bostons streak of wins in nine straight home openers. "It was a special day for us," Bostons Will Middlebrooks said. "It was emotional. For all of the guys that were a part of it last year, its a special journey we were on." Khris Davis doubled off Mujica (0-1), who made his Boston debut, and took third when Scooter Gennett reached on a sacrifice bunt. Overbay doubled to right for a 4-2 lead, advanced on the throw and scored on Carlos Gomezs fourth single of the game. Aramis Ramirez added an RBI single. Mujica was the St. Louis Cardinals closer for much of last season, then lost that job last September and did not pitch in the World Series against the Red Sox. He signed a $9.75 million, two-year deal with Boston. "They came out swinging against Mujica," Boston manager John Farrell said. "Knowing hes been in the National League Central, theyre familiar with him. At the same time, Edwards had a lot of success against that lineup. Mislocated a couple of balls, and he paid for it." Ryan Braun was 0 for 5 and was booed each time he came to the plate in his first road game following his 65-game suspension last season. Four days earlier, home fans applauded the 2011 NL MVP loudly during Milwaukees season opener. "I certainly wasnt anticipating a reception like I got in Milwaukee," Braun said. "Ive had plenty of experience dealing with it and I think regardless of how challenging anything is, the more you deal with it, the easier it becomes to deal with." Bostons winning streak in home openers was tied with Cincinnati (1983-91) for third-longest in major league history and ended behind 11 straight by the New York Yankees (1998-08) and 10 by Pittsburgh (1945-54). "This is a really intimidating place to come," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "The adrenaline that flows in this place is amazing." Brandon Kintzler (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win, and Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth in a non-save situation. Each starter allowed two runs, Marco Estrada in 5 2-3 innings for Milwaukee and Jake Peavy in six innings for Boston. Milwaukee took a 2-0 lead in the second on Jonathan Lucroys first homer of the season and Gomezs two-out, run-scoring single. Boston scored in the bottom half with the help of an error by right fielder Logan Schafer, who misplayed Grady Sizemores single for an error that scored Mike Napoli. Middlebrooks homered in the third. NOTES: Brewers reliever Will Smith allowed two walks with two wild pitches but no runs or hits in 1 1-3 innings. ... New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady attended the game. ... Milwaukee RHP Wily Peralta stumbled and fell as he ran to the third-base line when Brewers players were introduced before the game. "I didnt see him go down but thats what I heard. He had a dirty uniform when he came back," Roenicke said. "Hes fine."... Before the game, there was a moment of silence as a tribute to Lt. Edward J. Walsh and firefighter Michael R. Kennedy. They died last week while battling a fire in a home less than two miles from Fenway Park. Air Max 90 Mens Nz . On Wednesday, Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas hit back. In a passionate defence of himself and the London clubs medical staff, the Portuguese coach rebuked the "incompetent people" who have attacked Tottenham for allowing Lloris to continue playing after being briefly knocked unconscious against Everton on Sunday.

It feels good. Its a collection of a lot of good teams, a lot of good players over the years. Ill take a little moment to reflect. Its been a lot of fun. Just winnings fun and Ive gotten to do it quite a bit with some good guys. So Ill try and enjoy this.The Canucks (6-3-0) posted their third win in four games, while the Hurricanes (0-6-2) remained winless after their first eight games of the season. Carolina also remained without a victory in seven games in Vancouver since October 1999.Our guys were skating and pressuring the first option, said Miller, who recorded 29 saves as the Canucks were outshot 30-29. I could sit back and make reads. It makes the game a lot easier.Brad Richardsons first two goals of the season led Vancouver, with his second going into an empty net in the final minute of play.It was nice to get the zero off the board there, said Richardson. You get to that 10-game mark, you dont want to be sitting there with zeros.Linden Vey and Jannik Hansen, with the winner, also scored for the Canucks, who led 1-0 and 3-0 after the first and second periods, respectively.Jiri Tlusty broke Millers shutout bid during a scramble at the 11:05 mark of the third.We just didnt play heavy and strong enough to be able to break pucks out and go the other way, said Carolina captain Eric Staal, who earned an assist after missing five games with an upper-body injury. We just werent good enough.Vancouver went 1 for 3 on the power play while the Canes were blanked on the same number of man-advantage opportunities as they spent a lot of time defending Canucks penalty-killers.Richardson opened the scoring only 1:32 into an otherwise uneventful first period as he broke down the right wing, cut towards the goal and lifted a quick wrist shot over Carolina goalie Cam Wards glove.

They had some good chances. Its too bad we couldnt get him the shutout.Vey put the Canucks ahead 2-0 on a power play 50 seconds into the second period.

Webers assist resulted after he kept an errant puck right on the blue-line and then flung it towards the net, denying Carolinas Jeff Skinner of a clear breakaway.They had a chance, we kept it in and we ended up scoring, so that was probably the difference in the game, said Desjardins.The Canucks will host Montreal on Thursday while the Hurricanes return home to face Arizona on Saturday.Notes: Vancouvers Henrik Sedin and Radim Vrbata extended their point streaks to five games as they assisted on Veys goal. … Defencemen John-Michael Liles (illness) and Ryan Murphy (lower-body injury) returned to the Hurricanes lineup after missing their last game in Edmonton.
