For the first 7 innings the best thing about tonight's game were the 2 guys dressed up as umpires behind home plate. They were hilarious as they helped the home plate umpire bark out his calls.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox were getting hammered early & often again by the now-powerful Jays. When the first pitch ends up over the Green Monster you know you are in for a long night. Buchholz picked a bad time for his worst outing in his last several starts. He made 5 innings barely & allowed 7 runs.
But the Sox put a rally together in the bottom of the 8th with 5 runs to pull within one, 8-7. J.D. Drew's 3-run homer was the big blow. However, Youk looked at a 3-2 strike with the bases loaded in the 9th to end it. Close, but no cigar.
Now we have to wait again to see if the Angels beat the Rangers so we can back into the Wild Card. Do we care? Absolutely not. Let's get in anyway possible.
I'll take another Ranger's loss since we have Wakefield going against Halladay tomorrow.

There should be a rule about not being allowed to celebrate with champagne after you have just lost 5 in a row and backed into the playoffs. It is almost like ther football player who celebrates a big hit when his team is down 30 to nothing. Embarassing!! SB
