"You had a bad day ..."

Looks like this one is over early at Fenway. End of the third and the Sox are down 8-0. Beckett's day is done after two and a third innings.

Over the past three or four years, the Blue Jays have given the Sox fits especially up in the "North Country". Today they jump on Beckett and Marcum is dealing.

Let's hope something good can come out of this. Let's get Buchholz in the game and allow him work some stuff out.

I can't watch this anymore .... I'm going to the beach to finish a good book.

BTW ....

• Why did the Sox wear their 'reds" yesterday? I guess37 runs in three games wasn't good enough
• This Youkilis for MVP stuff is just going to get our hopes up. Quick who was the last 2 MVPs the Sox have had? (Answer at bottom)
• Do we really need to remove a 16 year old kid for "interfering" with Papi's disputed double on Tuesday. If Francona is going to argue it was a homer, 38,000 people are screaming the same, video replays say it is a toss up why not let the kid stay. Four umpires say he interfered so the kid is kicked out. "You're not god. You're just a high school football coach."
• Who do you trust out of the bullpen? Starter goes seven + Masterson in the 8th + Papelbon in the ninth = a winning % of .950. Anyone else added to the equation effect the winning percentage as follows; Timlin (-.300), Aardsma (-.500), Okijima (-.050), Lopez (-200), and Delcarmen (-250). Reminds me of a hefty lefty reliever back in the early 90's named Joe Price. The Sox winning % when he appeared in a game was like .350
• Bought the wife a pink Red Sox hat up at Fenway and she said she preferred a red one. Found a solid red hat at TJ Maxx in Norwich for $5.
• Message to Boras and Varitek -- the contract is 2 years for $19.5 million. Take it or leave it.
• Who the heck does Jason Bay look like in the face? I can't seem to place it.

Answer = Mo Vaughn in 1995 (Albert Belle was robbed) and Roger Clemens in 1986. If you said Mike Greenwell in 1988 you get a quarter of a point (he was the runner up to a juiced up Canseco)
