[Sea Dog 23]

In the 3rd Wong triples in a run.  In their half Rays get a homer to tie it.

[Schloicka]

2 out runs keep killing the Sox.

Pathetic 9th inning. Turner and Duvall both K while watching strikes go by, then Yoshida watches two go by before grounding out to end it.

That was the them of the evening. Frozen still for called 3rd strikes what seemed like all night long. Another miserable game to watch.

Hats off to LLovera for 3 innings pitched. I thought he was just an inning per outing guy, but his stats show that we was a starting pitcher when he moved through the lower levels in the Minor Leagues.

Toronto lost, so we'rs still 5 games back. Losing Tuesday's game hurt us. We looked flat last night.

Good turn on a DP by Valdez, but sheeeesh, don't throw down at a guy's knees during a run-down. Is it going to be something screwy every night that guy plays defense?
