Sox come back to win 5-3

Things were looking good for the Sox early, but the tides quickly turned in the 2nd when Koskie led the inning off with a homer. A couple singles, a double, and a sac fly later the Jays had scored 2 more runs and the Sox were down 3-1 after 2.
El Duque settled in and the score remained the same until the 7th when Dye led off the inning with a homer off of reliever Pete Walker. Then in the 8th, with Frasor on the mound, Everett drew a walk, and that was followed by a single to center by Paulie, breaking his 0 for 20 something slump and moving Carl to 3rd.
Batista, the Jays closer, was then brought in to face the left handed bat of Timo-why the hell is playing again-Perez. Timo for some reason thought bunting would be a good idea, you know, since it worked last time for him with RISP (when the bags were juiced last week), so why not try it with men on 1st and 3rd? Well, it won't work when you pop it up 25 feet into the air and right to the first baseman. Thankfully, Bautista walked the following hitter, Dye, to load the bases for AJ, who faught off an 0-2 pitch and blooped it into left scoring 2 runs and bailing out Timo for his bunting blunder. That clutch 2 run single put the Sox up 5-3, and Marte and Hermanson would come on to finish things off.
We did end up winning, so this is trivial, but Timo blew another play in the 9th on a line drive to center that Aaron would certainatly have gotten to. Another "Timoism" happened earlier in the game when with one out he took off on a blooper to RF that was caught, and by the time he realized it he was already approaching home plate with the ball on the way to second to double him off. I don't know what Ozzie's infatuation is with this guy, but with his speed he has no business playing in CF, not to mention playing at all. If Ozzie wants to get somebody some at-bats and sub them in the outfield, bring up Anderson and give him the at-bats. I don't know how I can complain about anything when we've lost only 7 games all year, but when faced with disappointment year after year after year, you can't help but to point out what went wrong as well as what went right. (The longest, loneliest walk I ever had walking down the ramps out of Sox park was after our game 6 loss to Toronto in the 93' ALCS. I was so young that I was naive enough to believe that we would come back to win, all the way down to the last out. That year was of course followed by the strike, which would leave a bitter taste in a lot of 10 year olds mouths. So please excuse me for not avoiding some negativity from time to time.)

Side Note: This was the Sox 6th consecutive victory, and it just so happens that that team on the other side of town LOST their 6th straight this afternoon, with their "closer" throwing the ball away with two out and the bases loaded in the 9th inning squandering a one run lead. There is nothing sweeter than a Sox win coupled with a sCrUB loss. Ah, the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat.
Due up: Garland 5-0 1.38 ERA vs. Lilly 1-2 7.77 ERA
