I'm back

It's nice to be writing about SoxandPhils again; not so nice that one half of the blog was rained out. That's all right, tomorrow will be nicer, and the Phillies will sweep a twin bill from the Mets to reclaim a share of first place.

{Hopefully the Change is Good crew can bring some continued luck to the Phils.}

The red-hot Red Sox could have really put some pressure on the first-place Rays with a win tonight, but Tim Wakefield, making his 500th appearance as a Red Sox, turned in one of his worst performances against the Rangers. I know, we don't complain about Wakefield on this blog, but it would have been nice to see a side bar in tomorrow's paper about the Sox winning this milestone performance to pull within 1.5 of the Rays. At least the Jays beat the little doodles in extra innings with a walk-off homer, so we stay 2.5 out. Minnesota lost, so at worst we're 5.5 games up for the Wild Card.
