Final Score: Boston Red Sox 8, Toronto Blue Jays 0You feel that? That was the cold icy stare of Tim “can’t touch this” Wakefield and his diving, dancing, dipping ball of knuckle death. These hapless Blue Jays were minor obstacles in his path to victory. Lowest ERA in the league? Yeah not that his W-L record would tell you (4-3) but the soft throwing vet is now rocking a 1.73 ERA and an attitude. His last two starts? Not one opposing player crossed home plate… because they’re scared to. So that stare that cuts through your soul? It MAKES you bring him runs.
Even against Doc Hallady.
These Sox players didn’t have a choice. They were compelled like zombies at a MENSA meeting to feast on the brains… sorry… poor pitching of the Jays ace. Lowell went deep (again) and the Papi/Ortiz combo looked as healthy as ever. Oh and then there is the often plunked Youk. You know why he gets hit? Cause he’s freaking KILLING the ball and you might as well make him feel some pain when he gets on base.
Now about these Blue Jays. What the hell happened here guys? You passed the Sox for second place in the AL East last year, you made some expensive and (on paper) impressive improvements, but you look like garbage. The Jays can be a nasty thorn in the Sox side and after the 2 game loss earlier this season, it looked like that pattern was emerging again. Guess not. Get the brooms out. We need to sweep some azure feathers off this artificial turf.

And by the way… As an aside.
I honestly don’t care about Bonds and Curt/Ortiz/Papelbon/Francona’s comments for or against the record/steroids issue. Why is this even news? Curt shoots his mouth off, Ortiz dissents and then gets misquoted, Papelbon says stuff, Curt apologizes and Francona tells everyone to shut up. Wow… finally an opinion I agree with: Shut Up.
