Blue Jays vs Red Sox boxscore

Congratulations, Roy Halladay! You just dominated a Triple-A lineup!

That was so bad it was funny. So bad that Dusty Brown pitched the final inning. So bad that Joey Gathright led the Red Sox with two hits. So bad that Kevin Millar hit in the No. 3 spot (for the Jays, not the Sox). So bad that ...

Well, how much does this loss really matter? The Sox are in the playoffs and although they've looked really bad, the most important thing is a lock: October. Sure, momentum is nice, but it's been proven in the past that the regular season doesn't mean much come playoff time.

Maybe -- just maybe -- it won't be so bad when the Sox finish the season with the Indians in a four game set that starts Thursday. Four game winning streak to finish the regular season?

Maybe.

I'm getting to the point where I want us to lose every game before the start of the playoffs.

And then maybe run the table after that or something.

Goddamn that DeMarlo Hale.

Like the 2000 MFY?

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

That post better be good.

I’m reading it as soon as I get home tomorrow.

I came back and saw the score and freaked out.

Then I saw the lineup. Awesome. The bad news is that Oki gave up a homer, and that sucks. Oh, and Wake is clearly not feeling it. But ca va. I guess Byrd might get the playoff nod.

Also want to see more of Richardson. He’s been a brand new player since he changed to a reliever.

Glad I didn’t waste money on tickets to that game

Anyone see Masterson's complete game?

12 Ks! I’m glad for him.

I'm even happier that he didn't do it against us.
