Sox Bats Continue Against the O's--Peter

Well, Jenn, last night and tonight the Sox bats continued to take their toll against the O's. Last night, the Hose won ten zip, including six HR's, two by Dusty and another by Papi. Buchholtz went a nice solid seven giving up just 3 hits. Tonight, the onslaught continued although a bit closer than it needed to be, 7-5. The Sox led 3-1, only to fall behind 4-3 when TOM allowed a combination of O's hits and an error to bring three runs across. However, not to worry, after the Sox tied it in their half of the 6th at 4, Martinez pushed across the Hose's final three with a bases loaded two bagger. At this point the rest of the pen came on and settled things. Bill Wags was perfect including a pair of K's--the guy's almost unhittable--; Bard followed with is flamethrower of an arm, getting another pair of K's, although he left with two men on via a walk and a hit. Enter The Laser! (Drum Roll, please) He finished off the O's in the 8th and then finished things in the 9th getting save 35 for the year, although he did give up a run via a pair of singles and a sacfly.
While we were maintaining the lead for the Card over the Rangers, the team set some history--again. You see, Jenn, that's one of the nice things about a team with the history the Sox have--both good and bad--there's always a chance you'll see history made. Tonight Bay got his 100th ribbie, and in the process, became just the fifth Sox left fielder ever to have at least 30 homers and 100 RBI's in the same season. The others are all in the Hall or going to be: four guys named Ramirez, Rice, Yaz and Williams. You may have heard of them. To show you the company he's joined, of the prior four Manny did it six times with the Sox and five times before that with the Indians, Rice did it four times, Yaz-three and Teddy Ballgame an incredible SEVEN. Like I said--with a club like ours, history just happens. Awesome!
