G18: Blue Jays 8, Red Sox 1

Red Sox   - 000 100 000 - 1  6  0
Blue Jays - 410 300 00x - 8 13 0
Bah. Five of the first six Blue Jays reached base against DiNardo (the one that didn't crushed a ball to deep center field). Four of them scored.

The Red Sox forced Roy Halladay to throw 90 pitches in five innings, but left five runners on base over the third, fourth and fifth innings. Kevin Youkilis's single with one out in the fifth was the team's last hit of the afternoon.

Good News: Trot Nixon went 2-for-3 (though, in a bonehead move, he was tagged out in the second inning when he turned towards second base and then was slow wandering back to the bag) and Josh Bard doubled, singled and walked.

12:00 PM -- Lenny DiNardo makes his second start of the season.

Kevin Youkilis moves across the infield to third today and JT Snow gets a start at first. Also, Josh Bard is catching and hitting 9th. It's raining in Toronto, so the roof will be closed.

i'm really sick of the jays always playing like the '39 yankees against us.

Too late! I posted that at the time it happened in the SoSH game thread (it sounded pretty bad/dumb from the WEEI guys).
