Sloppy Sox Sink South..Toronto 4 Boston 3

It was a sloppy game defensively for the Boston Red Sox Saturday evening at Fenway Park. The Blue Jays were victorious and the score was 4-3. Josh Beckett was not at his best but that seems to have been the norm all season long. Am I used to it? NO WAY! Boston is still mathematically "in it" but in my book, they're cooked. Take them out of the oven and throw 'em away. Until next year. The injuries were just too much to overcome and mediocre seasons by starters Josh Beckett, John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka did not help at all. It ain't over 'till it's over but right now, IT'S OVER. OVAH.

Boston will try to salvage one game of this stinking series today and here's the info...

Sun. 19 **Tor 1:35 PM ET RSN/NESN** Lester (17-8) vs. Marcum (12-7)

Jon Lester has been a strikeout machine all year long. Let's hope that doesn't change this afternoon. I have a feeling that it won't and with a little run support, he'll win. But as for the team, I'm afraid the Fat Lady has finished her song and has left the building. Long live the Fat Lady. Thanks for the show.

Have a terrific Sunday and please don't forget to watch the pilot episode of HBO's Boardwalk Empire (see two posts below this one) on HBO at 9pm EDT tonight with a pre-show beginning at 8:45pm EDT. IT WILL BE VERY SPECIAL. Click on this post's title for more Red Sox stuff and as always, BE WELL. Enjoy Boardwalk Empire. You'll be glad you did.
