Sox 12, Jays 7: Patriot games

·1 min

Most of my thoughts have already been captured in my earlier post, but just to add - good of Manny to laugh along with the standing ovation for his routine flyball catch. Of course, a couple of monster shots cures many woes.

Schilling had one of the more poorly-pitched 10-K games I’ve seen (Ryan Dempster and Randy Johnson had 8- and 9-K games this season that looked pretty bad too), even if you take Manny’s errors into account. I hope that procession of foul balls and tough at-bats by the Jays doesn’t set a pattern.

And is it just me, or does Terry Francona seem much more argumentative apres-hospitalisation?
