I thought I would have a positive headline for this post, because there wasn't much else to jump through hoops about north of the border last night.Tim Wakefield had "the bad inning" last night and it was the fifth, allowing five runs, and that's all the Toronto Blue Jays needed to end their nine-game losing streak, 6-3. Even before the bad fifth, it wasn't going to be Wake's night. Wake was in trouble in the first, loading the bases with one out, but a DP ball got him out of trouble.Every Red Sox regular had at least one hit, everyone except David Ortiz. Granted his first at-bat was a long drive that landed in front of the wall, just missing a grand slam, and his second was a scorching liner that Lyle Overbay made a great catch on. But we've been looking for "great signs" from Papi for weeks. Took the collar yet again last night, and is now 2-for-15 in the sixth slot. And his overall average is .189.J.D. Drew hit a home run and he, Jason Bay ...

Ungood

Via Mighty Quinn Media Machine  |  May 31, 2009
Another rotten day north of the border.A promising beginning went up in smoke, as the Sox jumped out to a 3-1 lead, courtesy of Mike Lowell's RBI single and a two-run blast by Rocco Baldelli (who later left the game with a knee contusion, as he slammed into the all along right field going after a foul ball, pictured above.) They had Brian Tallet on the ropes those first two innings...

Via A Large Regular  |  May 31, 2009
The David Ortiz SolutionIf I were the Red Sox - I'd solve to problem with David Ortiz in a very simple manner. I'd start have him practice his bunting.Like the sage Wee Willie Keeler is famous for saying, "Hit them where they ain't." Whenever a team went into a shift on Ortiz - I'd have him drag a bunt down the 3rd base line. If the other team wants to give...
