O Canada! (Game 111)

And yes, I do indeed plan to make puns on Jason Bay's name and his ancestry until he stops winning games for us.

Thanks for asking.

Thanks to first inning homers from Kevin Youkilis and new friend Jason Bay, Boston jumped out to a 5-0 lead off of Dana "Cl" Eveland. A third inning rally featuring a bases loaded double from Farmer Jed and a double from Jason "Night of the Living Catchers" Varitek chased Eveland in favor of old friend Lenny Di Nardo, and Boston now leads 10-2. America's Sweetheart, Jon Lester, appears to be cruising.

Assuming our bullpen can hold an 8 run lead, the Yankees won and the Rays are winning. That leaves us at status quo- 3 behind Tampa, 2 1/2 up on New York. Which, given the dog's breakfast of an offense we've had, is not as bad as it could be.
