Sounds about right (although I don't feel like looking it up either). So, the Sox are due.

The Bluejays' jerseys look terrible. I know it's a throwback, but the powder blue almost makes me throw UP (cue rimshot)
Cora's ass gets drilled. Tied the game 2-2. Coco with the single and the Sox take the lead. 3-2
Jacoby with the groudout, 4-2 Sox 1 out 2nd and 3rd.

I don't get the pitching change. Two outs, two bases to play with, don't you try to squeeze a little more out of your starter? Not like they were crushing the ball all inning. If he gets through it, maybe he's ok for the 5th.
Huh.
Huh.
And Byrd gives up another Homer. 5-4 Sox.
I'll say it again:
Varitek should have filed for divorce months ago.

The Blue Jays announcer just suggested walking Pedroia to get to Ortiz. Lefty-lefty matchup! It makes so much sense!

Wrong. I count 8 runs for the Sox.
