Sox Show Phils Who's Boss

After losing game one, Boston bounced back to take two of three from the NL Champ Phillies in their own building. Tim Wakefield followed Dice-K's near no-no with a gem of his own as the Sox stymied Philidelphia's potent line up two games in a row. There would have been a second shut out as well if not for Ramon Ramirez throwing batting practice in the ninth. Boston also pounded familiar foe Roy Halladay for 7 runs over 5 2/3. Sox batters struck out just once.

The Sox start a three game series with the Rays tomorrow before heading home to face ego booster Kansas City. They may need it. The Trop has proved completely vexing for the Sox for three seasons now. I don't have very high hopes for that series. It's just another opportunity for the Rays to pad their divisional lead.
