Sox 4/12/2006 - Toronto

ESPN Box Score

Blue Jays - 320 020 010 - 8 16 1
Red Sox -   000 211 000 - 4  6 0

Earlier I said that Wells was a big game pitcher who would rise to the occasion, I should have taken into account his abysmal record against the Blue Jays. David deserved every bit of the boos that came raining down on him last night. 3 runs in the first coming via 2 home runs and his curve ball was just spinning up to the plate with no break on it. Not the way to follow the pitching performances of Beckett and the rest. The bright spot is that Wells did worse in Oakland last year on his first game back from the DL and then settled down the rest of the year. Maybe this will happen again this year.

The good news is that Papi homered again, with home runs by Willy Mo and Dustan Mohr also adding to the final score. Coco is now signed up through 2010. I missed the last couple of innings due to the cold medicine I'm taking putting me out like a light, so not much else to add to this post. A win tonight though will mean that the Sox will start the season off with three series wins.

Looking ahead I see that the two games against the Yankees have projected starters of Beckett and Wakefield.

Empire Update
