Well, Jenn, this sure isn't 2007. Then we faced the Rox and blew them off the field in four straight for the WS Crown. Now we visit and in spite of a very good job by Lester last night, lose 2-1. Worse, we face Ubaldo Jimenez tonight and although he's the hottest pitcher anywhere in terms of wins (13 so far) and ERA (low 1's), we finally kick him to the showers early and build a 6-5 lead going into the 9th. What happens? The Laser comes on and immediately gets burned--HR, Blown Save and it's 6-6. The worst, however, is yet to come. Still no outs and Pap gives up a single. After getting an out on a sacrifice, Jason Giambi pinch hits and sends everyone home with a walkoff two run HR. Unbelievable. Fortunately, the Rays also lost. Haven't seen the score from the Stripes yet.
The Sox performance wasn't that bad overall. I mean the Hose got a dozen hits, of which Nava had a pair of doubles and three ribbies and Lackey got a double. Even better, McDonald picked up a two run HR of Jimenez--all for naught.
Well, tomorrow is another day and we can hopefully come back so we get a good sendoff to the City by the Bay. Sara's going to the Sunday game I think against the Giants. She'd gotten me a ticket, but I've a conflict, so we're seeing the Sox in July when next they hit the Left Coast.
