Payback is Sweet – Sox Return the Favor to Jays with 10-2 Win
Mark Buehrle was Mark Buehrle – solid, and a true stopper. The defense looked like nothing the Sox did last night, which was disasterous. Tonight it was anything but. Jerry Owens’ catch in the gap was ridiculous. I could hardly believe what I was seeing. I thought this guy way done, gone, off the team forever, but he is back and contributing. Incredible. The Sox also hit the ball, with Dye going deep for a 2-run shot, and Ramirez breaking out of his funk with a grand slam. I was so glad to see that, not just for the team and the game, but for his mental state as well. I’m glad to see the fight and the victory. The lopsidedness of the victories gives me pause…the way the Sox either kill or get killed is reminiscent of teams past I would rather forget, but this is the team we have. Beating Halliday will be a tall order tomorrow. I’m not even sure I can see how the Sox can win tomorrow. Stranger things have happened though. Let’s get em’ tomorrow.
