Being from Ottawa I hear a lot about the Blue Jays, I attend as many Sox games in Toronto as I can. Thankfully the Leafs are usually done their season by opening day so encounters with Leaf fans are rare while attending the games. While Jays fans are not quite as passionate as their hockey watching neighbours they are into the games and tend to be very knowledgeable. This, combined with the fact that the Jays always seem to play the Sox hard, always makes for a great experience. Attending games in Toronto was my main inspiration for this blog. Being at those games and seeing how many Sox fans there are north of the border was the driving force. I admit if the Jays are not playing the Sox I always cheer for them and have some great childhood memories from watching them go back to back in 92-93.
Now to the action today.
a good pitching match up. Lester put together a good line (6ip,6 hits, 2 runs (0 earned), walked 2 and struck out 5) Pap battled through a scoreless inning and Okajima put a blanked frame on the board.
There wasnt much offense going for the Sox (2 hits through 8 innings) but it was there when needed. The Sox put together a 3 run rally to walk-off in the 9th capped off by an RBI single by Tug Hulett (great name).
Mike Lowell left the game early after fouling a pitch off his knee in his first at bat. More to come later.
