A Return to June 30--Peter

Well, Jenn, so much for the latest Sox onslaught. Tonight started out great: three zip after one, six zip a few innings later, and 8-2 shortly after that. Wake's going pretty well, considering his recent back/nerve problems. Then, suddenly, it's 8-5, Sox. So, OK, we get another run to go up 9-5 after five. A bit closer, but should be OK. I mean, this IS KC, after all. WRONG! The pen, which recently has been pretty reliable got lit up royally--starting with TOM. The same guy who started a thankfully avoided replay of the June 30 game against the O's did it again. Tonight in 2/3 of an inning, he gave up 4 runs, leaving us tied and still batting against the Sox. Bard followed down the same path and, well, forget about it.
On the good side, Bay got his 36th HR and Martinez picked up his 100th ribbie of the season. AS I began writing, Jenn, Texas was thrashing the A's, so barring a reversal of their fortunes, we'll give up a game of our lead. The Halos were leading the Stripes, but it was early, so that remains to be seen.
Tomorrow better be better.
