Timely....Or Not: Peter

Well, today was a loss. It's really too bad because for once Lackey gave a good effort, going seven and allowing only two runs on seven hits. He really had just a single bad inning, that being the 2d when he gave back the Hose two zip lead. After that, he and the pen looked good except Delcarmen's lapse in his only inning that briefly left the Sox down a run. I tell ya, Jenn, after the miserable series earlier this year against the Birds in the Hub, when they get ahead late, I get nervous. Here we tied it up in the 9th and gave the ball to The Laser. He was pretty much himself and allowed very little for the O's. Then, in the 11th, it was all for naught. Oki came in allowed a runner and then gave up a double to the slumping Markakis. Game over.
