An incomplete rally for the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays take the second game of the three-game series. It was homerun derby time in Fenway Park today, but unfortunately it was the Blue Jays who supplied most of the long balls, with fifty percent of Toronto's blasts coming from one player. Although the Red Sox did manage to out hit the Blue Jays, it was the Toronto balls leaving the field that hurt Boston. Another rough start for Boston pitching - hope these last few games will shake out the problems and that they will be well-prepared for the postseason. Good to see aggressive play on the bases by the Red Sox (two steals today) - that intense attitude will most definitely be needed when Boston plays the Angels next week. Yes, playing the Los Angeles Angeles is no longer a speculation - BOSTON CLINCHES AL WILD CARD!!! See you soon Los Angeles!

Way to back into the playoffs, haha. I hate to admit it, but I'd love to see the Sox beat Anaheim so we can have another NYY-BOS ALCS!
