In yet another mortar shelling, the Red Sox came up empty in Wednesday night's beating at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays, losing 12-0. For those of you keeping count, that's six consecutive losses on two straight sweeps.
Roy Halladay had a no hitter going into the sixth, before Joey Gathright, of all people, broke it up with a weak single that NESN proceeded to play on loop like it was an ALCS walk off homer, but hey... gotta hang on to the small miracles... right?
