As usual Andrew is in my favorite New England sports living bar when I enter. There's one woman sitting at the bar and Grant, the new owner, is here as well. The Boston Red Sox need to win this third game against the Toronto Blue Jays today in Fenway Park - salvaging the series is in order. More people have entered the bar - here early for the New England Patriots and New York Jets football game. Yes, it will be a crowded day in the bar. Brace for it! The Blue Jays don't score in the first inning - a good start for Lester. A non-scoring game so far - the duel continues. But Martinez has just hit a homerun to put the Red Sox on top! Still keeping the Blue Jays at bay, even with the bases loaded. Keep it up Lester! More people have arrived at the bar. Another good turnout. With no outs in the fifth, Boston has added on to its lead by three runs. Just batting the ball around. And it's another homerun for Boston! Thank you Drew! In the sixth, Rich has come in for the end of the Red Sox game. It won't be as long a day for him in the bar as it will be for me. Boston has the bases loaded in the sixth with two outs - can they get more runs? No they can't. Oh well, the seventh is coming up. Two guys have joined me in the booth - Mike and Danny - they haven't been here since the change in ownership and they are from Massachusetts. It's now the ninth and a chance to keep the shutout against the Blue Jays. A friend of Mike's and Danny's has arrived. His name is Mark and he is also from MA. And the Red Sox pull out the shutout against the Blue Jays! Let this be the start of a new winning streak. And good news - both the Yankees and the Rays lost!
